I recently got a new Micron computer at work with an Adaptec AHA-2940
SCSI controller.   It works flawlessly (unfortunately) under WinNT but
Linux keeps on choking on the hard drive.  When it does this it
generates a message saying something along the lines of "pid xx timed
out/id 0 (the hard drive)/restarting process".

I also found out Linux will endlessly stall if the interface card is set
at 20MB/s but it will only *choke occasionally* if set at 40MB/s.

How can I stop my HD from crippling my system?
