I assume your hard disc don't support tagged queuing.  (*) Don't
enable it.  It could also be problems with the aic7xxx driver as there
were a lot of changes in the 2.0.3x version of the kernel.

(*) the only thing I know about tagged queuing is that some scsi
    devices can reorder commands given to access the data more
    effiently.
