This happens some time after I start the system, and when there is
some activity on the scsi bus: I was doing a backup of the
disk(lun#4), but I already wrote 4 tapes w/o any problem.

No: this is a new machine (only up since sunday)

targets 0,1,2 and 4 are  internal (cable length ~ 60 cm - can't be
shortened!); the cdroms are external (length ~ 1.7m + 90cm). There
were no reads to the cdroms when the problem occured.

 > Did you add devices lately ?

No, but I can easily remove the cdroms.

No. I will do it now.

Of course cables are terminated in both ends.

Thanks for your help,
