What is the firmware revision of your Seagate drives? There
were several models shipped in the recent past with firware that
would cause the drive to drop off the bus

>1. New aic7xxx driver locking disk access
The 6.1.5 version of the aic7xxx driver is quite stale. Can
you try 6.1.13 from:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~gibbs/linux/
and see if this clears up your problem?
Thanks,

U160 cards, so I'll ping Alan about
