Bruno, can you try the sym2 driver and let us know how it goes?

CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_2=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_DMA_ADDRESSING_MODE=0
CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_DEFAULT_TAGS=16
CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_MAX_TAGS=64

there was a similar problem with the sym2 driver that was fixed
recently.

alternatively, please try turning on CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK in your
kernel and try running the sym53c8xx driver and see if that helps
identify the problem...
