We ended up setting a serial terminal up to capture debug info. The oops
was specifically pointing to the SCSI bus. Working on the assumption
that the hardware was sane I searched http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ for
"Red Hat Linux 7.3" + "aic7xxx" + "tape" and came up with several hits.
(Use the full query form, not the quick search stuff) One common
suggestion was to try the aic7xxx_old module and for us this resolved
the problem.

Searching the Red Hat bugzilla for open and closed bugs is a great way
to find solutions or identify known problems. If you have bits of the
errors handy try using them in a search.

Also of interest might be http://www.linuxtapecert.org/ but I found it
disorganized and didn't feel all the info was trustworthy/fresh. Might
be a starting place though.
