4Gb disk problems

Hi all,

   we have an alpha-server 2000/300 running DU 3.0 with the following SCSI
   devices on #0 controller:

        SCSI-ID DEVICE
          0 2.1 Gb Disk
          2 External Tape
          4 CDROM
          6 2.1 Gb Disk

   and we want to connect another disk (Quantum XP34300, 4Gb) to the same
   scsi bus with scsi-id 3.

   Configuration works fine (disklabel & newfs & mount), but when we work
   on it for a while it hungs the whole scsi bus, getting a lot of error &
   timeout messages from the bus ending in 'resetting SCSI at request'
   message and the system totally hungs.

   Intalling the same disk on AlphaStation 500/266 running DU 3.2d with
   the same configuration all is ok (so far ...)

   Output from 'uerf' (sorry for the long output :():
   [Realize that it don't complain about the new scsi-id #3]
