I've added some printks in scsi.c and aic7xxx_core.c.

>From here it just keeps repeating this read of 8 blocks. (2048 bytes) so
it looks like the machine is hung.

Now, I know for a fact that _if_ this read CDB is actually being sent to
the drive, it's actual residual count will be zero. These are working
disks and that read CDB is valid.

Why is ahc_calc_residual saying that the residual count is as though the
read never took place? I noticed that the first read on all the SATA
drives was for 4096 bytes, why is this one only 2048? Should it have
been 4096 and ahc_calc_residual assume that?

BTW, I'll be in and out all day today so I may not be able to respond
quickly.

One thing all these machines I have doing this, have in common, is the
scsi controller (Aic7xxx).

Regards
Mark
