I would have to see the driver messages to verify that.

You are running down rev. firmware on this drive and early Daytona
firmware revs had some serious problems.  Have you contacted
Hitachi (they bought the IBM drive division) for a firmware update?

You can get firmware and drivers for these drives from Hitachi:

I've got another drive now to mess about with:

da0:  Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device

And I get the same problems. Running non-packetized fixes it.
Are you sure this is a firmware issue?

The problem you are encountering looks to be a drive firmware issue
exposed when the drive is running at high queue depths.  The linux
driver limites the tag depth to 32 by default.  The FreeBSD driver
does not throttle in this way.  It seems that we just overwhelm the
drive with commands and it just stops doing anything on the bus.  According
to the timeout trace, the target just stopped sending packets while
still sitting on the bus.

I have not tested this particular drive, so I do not know if update
firmware is available for it.  You might try running in non-packetized
mode by toggling this option via SCSI-Select.  You previous test of
running at "160" just reduced the clock rate, but still allowed the use
of the newer, faster, packetized format.

It still does the same timeout and hangs the disc. Theres the option
of "Installed OS" which you can set to Other, Win95, Win98, WinME
or Win2000. (I've only tried "Other" and "Win2000" in all honesty).

Timeouts usually point to interrupt routing problems.  Try booting with

OK, gave that a go, and still the same. Im assuming you meant
to set it to 160 in the Adaptec bios? It shows up as 160Mb 
transfers in the dmesg now.

Any other ideas I can try?

Try to switch your adapter from Ultra320 to Ultra160 mode, then
try to install again.
