Well, then it's perhaps a hardware problem ? - Especially, because you
wrote, that the problem gets better when you lower the speed on the SCSI-Bus...
First: Try making the cable shorter and the distances between the devices
longer! And use active bus-termination!
And, judging from the Error-Messages the kernel gives you (I just looked up the
posting 'bout this...), you really _have_ troubles with your cabling, not with Linux !
READ IT LOUD :
(1 try from your SCSI-Controler...)
SCSI host 0 abort (pid 22377) timed out - resetting
^^^^^^^^^
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and (2nd try):
SCSI host 0 channel 0 reset (pid 22377) timed out - trying harder
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0
and now:
SCSI host 0 reset (pid 22377) timed out again -
probably an unrecoverable SCSI bus or device hang.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^
So what does the last message tells you ?
You *HAVE* Problems on the SCSI-Bus. - Bad/old/too long/wrong terminated cable!
The Linux-driver for the Adaptec Controller already tells you, what
he tries... And he tries hard and harder. - Three times...
OK. Adaptec Controllers a "Primadonnas", but this is really a bad cable!
