I've got the same drive but an old Buslogic card. I've used both BRU and
ARKEIA and never had a problem. I have two systems that have had at various
times Caldera 1.1, 1.2, Redhat 5.2, and recently SuSE 5.3.
I'd suspect your problem is hardware related. Have you verified the cabling
and termination? Try reseating the card and cables.
