I had this problem when I went to a PC CHIPS motherboard. There's some
incompatibility between the motherboard and the Buslogic BIOS (this actually
even happens with their PCI cards, and possibly even some Adaptec SCSI cards
as well). As a result of the incompatibility, you have to disable the
Buslogic BIOS and as a result the adapter isn't reset properly when you do a
soft reset.
I don't know if this is related at all to your problem, but thought I'd
mention it....
