I have about the same hardware and software as you (scsi-disks
connected to AHA-394X, tape-drive on the onboard 2940) and experienced
the same problems after starting to use the tape drive. As for the
hangs I got rid of them by making sure that the scsi-controller did
not share any interrupt (per default the stupid bios did so with my
ethernet card) by swapping around cards in the box.
As an additional problem I experienced some ext2fs-corruption on the
RAID0-device. I got rid of that by moving that partition to RAID5. But
frankly I have no idea what caused those. Regarding raid it does run
stable now for two weeks.
