I have a system with a Pentium on a PIC/MIG card with an
onboard AIC chip- and a pretty simple setup:

(scsi0) <Adaptec AIC-7880 Ultra SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 13/0
(scsi0) Wide Channel, SCSI ID=7, 16/255 SCBs
(scsi0) BIOS enabled, IO Port 0x6000, IRQ 11

I'm running a pretty heavy DMA and PCI bus access load- every
now and then, the linux aic driver gets stuck in the following
horrible scenario- something times out, and then I get stuck
with an infinite sequence of:

SCSI host 1 abort (pid 253052) timed out - resetting
SCSI bus is being reset for host 1 channel 0.
(scsi1:0:0:0) Invalid SCB ID 28 is active, SCB flags = 0x805.

Anyone got a notion about what this might be about?
