My termination setup is as dictated by the manual.

OK -- this morning I switched the DAT drive and the CD-ROM's places in the 
chain so the DAT drive was at the end and adjusted the termination 
settings on both accordingly.  Then my logs show the following:

etc...   for about 5 minutes -- then nothing in the logfile until 4 hours 
later:

And a reboot which lect it sitting until I could run home to fsck all the 
partitions.

I have since disconnected the cd-rom drive altogether.

Any further suggestions?  It's getting muy frustrating -- any and all 
ideas are welcome.
