pre-7 2.1.37 is supposed to fix _all_ these lockups. If there are any
lockups left then it would be cool to hear about them. I'm running pre-7
without a single problem for a day or so. (not with aic7xxx though, but i
had the same type of lockups).
you find the pre-patch at http://linux.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/testing/
