Sort of looks like a hardware problem. I have run SCSI for several years and 
the last time I saw that sort of message, one of the hard drives had messed 
up. Your message implies several hard drives on the controller. I would first 
try going to one HD programmed as device 0 (zero) and double check the cable 
connections, termination, etc. Do not assume anything about the SCSI chain. 
Try an older version of LM, like 8.1 or 8.2 (in case a sever software bug 
creeped into the distro). Let us know how you make out on this problem.

Cheers!
