Try using the "sym2" (CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX_2 I think) scsi driver instead -- the other one gets into a mode where it only accesses the disk every 30 seconds or so, initially usually triggered by an I/O-heavy load. Or use a later kernel to see if that helps. Pre-built ones are available at http://ftp.parisc-linux.org/autobuild-kernels/ -P
