When I had Mandrake 7.0 - all worked fine with exactly the same equipment!!!
Since 7.1 & 7.2 - I am having nothing but problems with bus resets and
timeouts.
Using latest Adaptec BIOS - also works fine with M$ OS's . . . (go figure!)
Here's a snippet from dmesg:

There is defintely a disk in the drive, but can't seem to get rid of
this problem!!! No disk change is made also!!
Any help would be appreciated!
