HD somtimes hanging

[Thomas Beutin <tyrone@laokoon.IN-Berlin.DE>]

Hi,

sorry, if this question is already answered, but i cannot find
a searchable mailing list archiv. In this case it would be nice
if You can give me a pointer to the answers.

I have big problems with my secend an third hard disk on a
Adaptec AIC-7902 U320 sitting on an intel SE7501HG2 board.
The disks are SCA disks FUJITSU  Model: MAP3367NC Rev: 0105
plugged into a hot swap back plane SCA HSBP M15 (Vendor
is ESG-SHV).
The first disk is an IBM IC35L036UCPR15-0 (Rev: S70H) and
runs fine.
When i try to access one of this FUJITSU disks, the system
hangs a couple of minutes and after that my dmesg command
ouput is full of "Dump Card State" (see below).
After a while the system (vanilla linux SMP kernel 2.4.21
running on a slackware 9.0) comes back to normal operation.
The system is'nt comletly hanging, it seems a file system
access in an already open shell freezes the shell, while
doing other stuff is ok.
Have You any idea what's going on? Is the backplane kidding
me (i've never bevor worked with an intelligent
SCSI-ID-consuming backplane)? I've found the fact, that the
disks are a short time available after a cold reboot (no
power in the machine at all), but later (2..3 hours) the
problems appeares again.

I've put some output and messages below. If You need more,
please let me know.

Any help or links to explanations welcome!

Thanks,
-tb
