is losing a command while under high load. I'm not familiar with
this model or its potential firmware quirks, but this is likely a case
of a drive that just can't deal with a high tag depth. You should
contact Hitachi (they bought IBM's HD division) to find out if newer
firmware is available for this mode. In the mean time, you might
try running with a lower queue depth. You can find out about how
to limit the queue depth from "README.aic7xxx" in drivers/scsi/aic7xxx.
