Okay, here are the results with verbose turned on with the latest 2.4.11
kernel from Ben.  They are in two parts.  The first is what dmesg has to
say about the scsi subsystem.  The second part is a gzipped piece of the
relevant /var/log/messages file.

Here is what dmesg says:

I hope this tells you something.  If I can provide any additional
information in order to help track this down.  Please let me know.

Thanks again,
