The qlogicisp driver ALWAYS had trouble with termination and/or CDROM on
the same cable as HDDs.
The new driver IS better, but there may still be quirks with bad
termination and/or CDROM plus HDD.
Sometimes its not possible to hook up an IDE CDROM (eg AS500 has no
IDE), but another work-around is to put SCSI CDROM and HDD on separate
cables/controllers.
Good luck.
