Do you have an option to disable the boot time bus reset in SCSI-Select?
One thing I notice in your dmesg output is that the card did not perform a
bus reset before probing for devices and that may be your problem. I added
code a few revisions ago to honor the information in the SEEPROM that tells
us to reset the bus or not. On my 2940UW, I can't change the bus reset
value via SCSI-Select (its always on), but that may only be a limitation of
the BIOS rev (1.21) I have on my card.
If you can't change this value, try the following patch and see if it
solves your problem. The dmesg output should say "Reseting channel A"
either way.
