I am running 7.1.3 storage node on a dl380 with a qualstar 5466 dual
sait library.
I originally built it with fedora core 1, 2.4.x kernel, 7.0x legato, and
HPAQ relabeled 39160s and had similar problems regardless of kernel and
scsi card firmware.
I went to LSI scsi cards and everything has just worked every since. The
current dl145 with SCSI comes with a LSI 53c1030, with I think is
telling.
My legato box uses both the LSI 53c1010 and 53c1030 models with no
problem.
