For Christmas I got my hands on a Yamaha CRW6416S (SCSI-2 CD-RW) and Toshiba XM-6401TA (SCSI-2 CD-ROM) drives. They're running off an Advansys UltraWide SCSI controller (940UW).

When I boot Linux, my machine hangs after detecting the CD-RW drive. As far as I can tell, termination is ok... The SCSI chain is

ID 0 - CD-ROM (terminated, end of cable)
ID 3 - CD-RW (not teminated)
ID 4 - SCSI controller (set to active termination)
ID 5 - HP ScanJet (terminated)

Am I missing something here? The kernel is 2.2.14pre16 compiled with support for the Advansys controller plus SCSI disk and CD support and the option to support proprietary extensions for Toshiba drives. The rest of the system is Debian 2.2. I've had no previous 2.2.14pre problems.
