Here's a long shot. Try compiling the driver wothout the ARBITRATE option. You
will have to edit linux/drivers/scsi/Makefile. Just remove "-DARBITRATE" from
the entry for seagate.o.
I have the same card with only a cdrom attached and I never could make it work
right with this compile option.
Just a thought.
