No, I did all the debugging yesterday with a UP kernel, just to remove
that source of uncertainty from the result.  Since I've used aic7xxx
drivers for years SMP, though, I don't think that they have terrible
problems with the 2.0.X spinlock.

Are you getting up to the timeout problem now?  I enclose below the
patch for the one tiny change that I made, although it probably has
the wrong line numbers (I made the diff relative to aic7xxx.c.orig,
which was probably the unpatched 5.0.18 or 19).
