Received no reply except from a person who reported
similar behavior.
Since the upgrade did involve some SCSI rearrangements ( 3000/?00
did not want to boot off the 3rd SCSI bus), I now believe that
I either bended or otherwise screwed up SCSI cables/connectors
during the procedure. Oh, well... I will replace the cables,
shorten buses and report if random panics persist.
Thanks anyway. This is a great list.

The original message:
I recently upgraded two old machines (3000/300 and 3000/400) to v.5
firmware and DU4.0D, no patches. Previously they were running 3.2c,
firmware v. unknown, and used to have uptimes > 150-200 days, limited only
by scheduled maintenance downtimes.
Immediately after the upgrade both machines started having problems with
disks, namely with the disks that had a swap partition on them. Both
machines now show lots of CAM errors in binlog and panic occasionally. CAM
errors are related to one particular disk on each machine. For the
3000/300 it's the disk with the primary swap, for the 3000/400 it's the
disk with the secondary swap. Coincidence? Both disks failed after the
upgrade? I can't believe it.
