What is at SCSI ID 6? You're not confusing this message with the
messages for the Seagate are you?
You don't tell us what is at SCSI ID 6; it apparently doesn't support
wide transfers. Go into Adaptec SCSI Select Utilities and disable
wide negotiation for this device. Some older devices choke when
negotiating wide transfers, so if you're having problems getting
SCSI ID 6 recognized by the kernel, disable wide negotiation.
