We've had one problem report so far that was fixed by adding a scsi
terminator.  The new driver runs fast sync scsi transfers, while the
old one ran slower async.  Poorly terminated scsi busses are much more
likely to fail with the new driver.  James Bottomley posted a patch to
disable sync transfers a few days ago, could you try that and see if
it helps?  Also let us know what you system has by way of scsi termination.

Thanks,
