Is this a SCSI termination problem, or what else?

[Friedrich Lobenstock]

Hi!

I'm having trouble with a remote server. Can someone tell if the
message below comes from a scsi termination problem, or what else
could that possibly be?

Apr 12 02:48:27 backup kernel: (scsi1:0:3:-1) Unexpected busfree, LASTPHASE = 0xa0, SEQADDR = 0x162
Apr 12 02:48:28 backup kernel: st0: Error with sense data: Current st09:00: sns = 70  5
Apr 12 02:48:28 backup kernel: ASC=20 ASCQ= 0

This is with the old aic7xxx driver, but with the newer (Adaptec) aic7xxx
driver I get similar messages:
