It is possible for him to be running a 2.2 release with CAM in it. We
released a number of sets of CAM patches against the 2.2 tree before 3.0
came out last year.

I think in this case it's cabling or termination. (Timed out in
{datain,dataout,command} phase errors generally indicate cabling or
termination problems. Timed out while idle problems are most frequently
drive firmware problems, but can just indicate that a timeout is set too
short, or that there's some other problem.)
