Are you sure the problem is AIT?
As I recall Linux 2.6 kernel on RH/CentOS/Fedora changed something in
SCSI so that any operation on Legato < 7.3 took forever and often timed
out. I was bit by it and definitely saw comments about it in legato list
so you should be able to search.
I had 2 qualstar SAIT libraries on CentOS and moved from 72-73-74 with
no problems. I think I had to wait on 7.3 before I could use the 2.6
kernel.
