Firstly, sorry for late replies. I was busy with other stuffs. I've asked
for an exchange of the cable and terminator, the problem still doesn't seem
to go away still.

I don't think my HBA have RAID. Its exactly the one listed at:
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/adapters/133mhz-dual/
64-bit/133 MHz U320 SCSI HBA (PCI-X)

There are only drivers for Redhat, Suse but not Debian. By default, my
Debian auto detect the HBA. Should i install the drivers using the RPM
package from Redhat? I'm out of ideas here :(
