I had the same problem with an AMI Megaraid in a HP last week, totally different cards, but maybe the solution may be similar. A google search found a patch, seems the problem is that the card tells the driver how many commands can be queued, and it is too high. The patch set a maximum on it. Seems to have worked fine.
