>From this description and your dmesg output below, I take it you have no external devices? If you did, it would be a factor, since it lengthens one of the SCSI chains. At least with a BusLogic BT-958. On a similar note, I wonder if your two internal SCSI cables together form a single logical chain. That would also impose length limitations, and possibly change your termination configuration. Good luck!
