Okay, I had it again today:
Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Cmd aborted from QINFIFO Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Command not found Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Cmd aborted from QINFIFO Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Command not found Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Cmd aborted from QINFIFO Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Attempting to queue an ABORT message Sep 7 19:15:19 binky kernel: scsi0:0:0:0: Command not found
Kernel was 2.4.9ac9 with (new) AIC driver 6.2.1, compiled with "Maximum Number of TCQ Commands per Device" set to 64. I was lucky since it's a RAID1 system (mirror disk is hda). Distro is SuSE 7.2 Professional, machine K6-2/300 with 128 MB EDO RAM, FS is reiser 3.6.25. Average load is low, it's a small smtp/imap/www system.
So I compiled the same kernel with the old AIC driver, and it works fine.
I should mention that it is a rather old PCI AHA-2940 Fast SCSI card with an also older harddisk IBM 0662S12 (that's the whole SCSI chain). My other machine (AIC-something U2W with Tandberg SLR (U2W) and SCSI CDR (SE) attached, no HDDs) works fine with the new driver. I just guess when saying that it seems to me that the driver developers were focused on up-to-date cards but not the older ones.
