Description of problem:
With an Adaptec 78xx controller and LTO tape drive, I get the following errors:
Dec 17 10:37:59 marx kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0,
scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 Write (6) 00 00 02 00 00 
Dec 17 10:53:04 marx kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0,

scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 Write (6) 00 00 02 00 00

the tape drive hangs and is unable to write.  The hardware works fine and was
working Redhat 8.0 kernel 2.4.18-17.8.0.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.use cpio or tar
2.

Actual Results:  device time out
Dec 17 11:08:23 marx kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : pid 0,
scsi0, channel 0, id 6, lun 0 Write (6) 00 00 02 00 00

Expected Results:  things to backup

Additional info:

I had this same problem with kernels before 2.4.18-17.  I was forced to load
AS2.1 on this box for Oracle support and now the tape drive it broken.

We cant fix this at this stage of the AS2.1 lifecycle.  Please re-open this bug
