With linux-pre2.0.7 I am getting a SCSI subsystem lockup while trying to read a SCSI QIC-250 tape with tar. The tape is read for awhile and than tar freezes with a reported I/O error. I can still switch windows and the mouse pointer still moves, but no new programs can be started without an I/O error message being displayed. I had to hard reset the system to reboot. I reran the tar file restore with linux-pre2.0.6, and experienced no problems. I am using a ncr53c810 controller with a Conner 2150 tape drive.

PS: I also have lockups when trying to edit/remove file on a minix floppy with pre2.0.6.
