Something else to try would be to throw an IDE drive in there, and try it with no hard drive connected to the SCSI card and see if it still goes nuts trying to talk to the card. ? I'm pretty sure it isn't the release of Mandrake. I've been using SCSI with Mandrake for a long time. Once in awhile there will be something broken, but they quickly fix it. I'm currently using an old 2940, but I've used Mylex and some other "junk" with no problems. Goodl luck.
