The problem is not the buslogic scsi adapter but rather your quantum
fireballs.  This is a very common error for all people who own this
combination of hardware.  What I did to circumvent that was take Leonardo
Zukoff's advice, which says to put something like this in your
/etc/lilo.conf:  append="BusLogic=0,7"
or applly it at the kernel command line.  This has virtually eliminated my
scsi timeouts due to the quantum fireball host.  Hope it works for you.
