My first thought from the logs is to check termination on both ends.  Also, check to be certain there is no duplication on the SCSI ID's on the chain.   Next thought would be to see how it runs with a RH6.2 kernel (2.2.14-5.0), and a hand-compiled kernel.

any other suggestions?

Thought for today:  warez kiddies n. 

 Even more derogatory way of referring
   to warez d00dz; refers to the fact that most warez d00dz are
   around the age of puberty. Compare script kiddies.
