I got into work this morning to find that our server had gone down in a
similar fashion. It has a 2940UW. The only difference was that we lost data.

I've gone back to 2.1.131 for now, but may try pre-5 with the aic7xxx changes
reverted next time I get a chance.

Has the new driver enabled tagged queueing by default? If so, might I suggest
that a late prerelease of 2.2.0 is not the best time to do so?

CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y
CONFIG_OVERRIDE_CMDS=y
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_LUN=32
# CONFIG_AIC7XXX_PROC_STATS is not set
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY=5
