I think you're on the right track.  I was getting this a while back
on a customer's machine.  Turns out the card was using interrupt
12 (0xc), and the kernel was configured for irq11.  Changing the
irq to 12 (via the SCSI bios setup) made the messages go away,
and also helped the system stay up longer :-)
