That could be a problem with the IBM drive attempting negotiation for
SCSI parameters the MESH driver doesn't know about. If I'm reading your
log correctly, your new drive is a 'wide' type? Did you use a
wide-to-narrow adaptor, and terminate the upper 8 bits?
Then, you might want to look for jumpers on the drive disabling certain
features, like wide negotiation, Target Initiated Sync negotiation
(that used to be my problem with an IBM drive a long time ago), and so
on. Try disabling thes features and see if it helps.
