more DPT trouble

I setup remote syslog to catch the DPT error messages and started moving
big files from /mnt/sdb1 to /mnt/sdb2.  It took a bit longer this time,
but eventually the machine started showing lots of errors and rebooted.

I'm using RedHat's 5.1 distribution kernel (2.0.34-0.6).  Here are 
the messages from loading eata_dma:

The SCSI bus consists of 4 IBM DDRS-34560 drives.  We set it (and left it)
down to 5mhz sync when we started having trouble...but Granite assured us
the cabling we bought would be suitable for 20mhz.  Termination is the
card's built-in at its end and a Granite active terminator at the other
end.  We've also tried without the Granite terminator with the last drive
terminated. 
 
Here are typical crash messages, which get quickly followed by a 
spontaneous reboot.

This goes on for about 10s before it reboots.

The only other thing I can think of trying is to make sure write caching
on each drive is disabled.  I'll probably try that (and rebuild the raid
group) tomorrow.  If that doesn't help, I may test each drive on an
NCR-875 and make sure the drives aren't bad.
