It seems like your system is falling apart.  Timeouts are occurring 
everywhere.  Either IRQ routing went wrong or your powersupply is not 
providing enough power.  Adding two more disks to sil24 doesn't change 
anything about IRQ routing.  If the system functioned okay w/ two disks 
attached to sil24, give your system a better power supply or rewire 
power cables such that each power lane is more equally loaded.
