You're having trouble with an aac getting stuck?  See if you get
timeout messages on the console (it might take a long time though).

I had to replace the Adaptec 2410SA in my backup server with a Promise
SATA150 TX4 because it kept getting wedged.  I had a long email
discussion with scottl@ about this but we never managed to track down
the problem.  There is no doubt however that either the adapter or the
aac driver was at fault.
