Which motherboard and chipset are you using?
I'm using a Yamaha 6416 SCSI and had terrible timeout problems. I had
to change the motherboard to resolve the issue. The problem
motherboard was an FIC PA2013 with a VIA chipset. The replacement is
an ASUS P5 with an ALi chipset. All other hardware remains the same
and my problem is gone. I'm not sure whether it was flakiness on the
part of the motherboard hardware or a kernel bug which affected the
PCI controller of the VIA chipset.
