We had many issues with Seagate drives and and S/M boards with the
onboard Adaptec scsi controllers. Seagate offered no help other than to
suggest putting in a network card (in lieu of the onboard) and/or
disabling SMP; neither solution was acceptable so we switched to
IBM/Hitachi drives and the problems disappeared. By the way, the
problems manifested themselves in those servers where we had more than
just one hard drive installed. This was even after updating to the
latest firmware etc; Seagate insists no problem with their drives
although other drives work perfectly well. YMMV
I do see you say you tried other harddrives .. which ones did you use?
