I have reported my problems also to linux-scsi, where Mark Bottomly very quickly
diagnosed that I must have a hardware problem (i.e., wide is not working, although it
should), but that the newer kernels do not handle the situation correctly. I post links
to the relevant thread(s) and attach the patch Mark sent to linux-scsi.

I could compile a kernel based on the gutsy sources, linux-source-2.6.22_2.6.22-12.36_all.deb.
The patch applies cleanly, and the machine boots, reducing the SCSI speed to 40MHz as
it should in the case of failing wide negotion.

Here are the threads:

http://marc.info/?t=119029481600004&r=1&w=2 (my original report plus helpful replies)
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=119046843406121&w=2 (the patch, which I'll also attach!)

All credits to Mark Bottomly!!!

I want to add that the gutsy based 2.6.22 kernel gives me the device-mapper syslog messages
and mount problems reported in Bug #119315 in udev (Ubuntu). As described there, removing all
evms packages cures the problem, but seems a bit "overkill" to me (even though I don't use it ..)
