Ok, my brain really wasn't working very well when I sent this, because I
also meant it to go the linux-kernel list...

Ok, here is my second attempt. This patch will need to be applied to the original aha1542.c file, so be sure to either back out the last patch or extract an original aha1542.c from the kernel source.
Basically, now if the device is a tape drive and the result byte looks like something that st should be able to handle, we'll just pass the error up to st.

I just tried your patch with 2.1.126 (since 2.1.127 frequently > locks up for me in scheduler). it seems to fix only half of the problem, > but the more important half;)
