There's also a timeout every time at bootup. I have included my dmesg below. I acquired the hardware recently (used but free). Therefore, I don't know much about it, except that some of it didn't work when I got it. Like the original poster, I have an integrated Adaptec SCSI controller (AIC-7880, BIOS rev 1.2S-HP, it says). I lack SCSI-fu, so please let me know if any additional information would be useful. I can provide access to the box to anyone interested in tracking down the problem.
