This problem seems to be somewhat specific in its appearance.

I now have all of the relevant SCSI code built into my 1.99.10 kernel
(and have had for the past few releases) but still get a hung system
whenever I try to tar from a SCSI disk to a SCSI tape (Exabyte).

I have had extremely good help from the local Exabyte support people so
I am sure that that side is set up correctly and equally confident that
my Adaptec 1542C and IBM DPES-31080 are also correctly configured.

This setup used to work with 1.2.13 but now fails consistently.

My kernel and apps are all ELF built with GCC 2.7.2 and what I thought was
5.3.12 but on checking see is 5.3.9 libc.

I am only guessing, but Alan's suggestion of timing/interrupt problems
sounds good to me.

Cheers,
Stephen.
