Just a thought for people looking into this SCSI
bus reset problem:
# echo "scsi dump 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi

This will output all the mid level command blocks to
the console/log. [This may only be useful if your
root partition is on a IDE disk.] See the function
scsi_dump_status() in scsi.c to interprete all
those numbers. Active commands during those resets
may have useful information in the 3 "timeout"
related fields.

Also the low level driver probably  outputs
debug information as well. In the case of my first
Advansys adapter:
# cat /proc/scsi/advansys/0
