Dell 1650 and CentOS-5 and PERC3/Di

After upgrading a few packages, boot started to be painfully slow - SCSI probing all devices
and giving the error:
AAC:AAC received an unrecognized command [601].
aacraid: Host adapter abort request (0,1,0,0)
aacraid: Host adapter abort request (0,1,0,0)
aacraid: Host adapter reset request. SCSI hang ?
... - and so on, probing all devices and finally booting

The solution is to upgrade PERC firmware to 2.8.1.7692 - http://ftp.us.dell.com/scsi-raid/PE1650_RAID_FRMW_LX_R168387.BIN

Worked well - boots ok now.
