Me Too!

In my case however, this happens on a MB-based Adaptec UW2
and ONLY when a vinum drive is active on the same channel as the tape drive.
That is, ChA has 3 disks + 1 tape, 2 of the disks are in a vinum volume, the 
third (and terminating) disk is "normal". IF the vinum volume is active (eg fsck) with
the tape drive plugged in, the tape drive blinks, and the above messages come out...

boot -s , and mounting the standalone disk only does NOT display any erros.

kernel is SMP, os version is 3.1, i DONT have SCSI ID clashes :-), further info
available on request after my 5gb at-a-time backup of the massive volume finishes :-))
