It means that the sequencer (or possibly the bus) was wedged as it exited domain validation and it won't even recover if we drop down to fully async. What type of array is this, by the way? I don't recognise the vendor. But anyway, let's proceed on the theory that the array is having a hard time. What I need you to do is lower the speed of the array target in the aic bios. Unfortunately, the driver won't honour that setting at the moment: I'll see if I can work up the code that will do it. The attached patch will perform this artificially (for every device on every aic79xx).
