>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE i386
>Environment:

	aic7870 controller, WANGTEK 5525ES SCSI 75F5 tape drive

>Description:

	interrupted a cpio from tape, system locked up shortly thereafter.
	A separate window doing ls -lR / stopped producing output
	The following messages were typicly seen on the console:
		ahc0: target 1, lun 0 (sd1) timed out
		st0 (ahc0:5:0): BUS DEVICE RESET message queued
		ahc0: target 0, lun 0 (sd0) timeout
	I'm guessing the problem has something to do with a rewind operation
	taking a "long" period of time
	Attempting to debug this, I found that the macro RESTART_SEQUENCER
	at the end of ahc_reset_channel never completed


>How-To-Repeat:

	cpio -it </dev/rst0
	then interrupt after a brief period of time

	If usefull I can repeat the tests with new modules provided

>Fix:
	workaround:
	copy the files /usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx/* from a 2.0.5 distribution

>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
