 I've got another drive now to mess about with:
 
 da0: IBM IC35L036UWDY10-0 S23C Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
 
 And I get the same problems.

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?

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

da0: IBM IC35L036UWDY10-0 S23C 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?

  clear. Ive replaced the disks with no change, but installed and
  ran Redhat 7.3 on the box with no timeouts or errors.
 
 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.

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

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?

Timeouts usually point to interrupt routing problems.  Try booting with
ACPI turned off.

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).
