Try disabling command queueing for the JAZ device in the adapter
setup. This helped for me, though I have to admit that a SCSI device
shouldn't completely lock up the system.
With a ncr53c8xx-based board the JAZ drive still doesn't work well with
command queueing, but the driver doesn't completely lock up the machine,
it returns an error code after a short timeout and continues working.
With command queuing turned off for the JAZ drive it works stable and
well!
Hope that helps!
