Problems with 36 GB SCSI Drive on 433au

I recently upgraded the OS on a 433au box to Digital 5.1a. The
upgrade appeared to go fine.

Shortly after that I installed a new 36 GB SCSI HD into the system.
Initially the system appeared to be putting the drive to sleep and
then it was unable to reawaken it. I used the kernel tuner and
disabled power saving features. This changed the nature of the
problem, but it did not solve it. (Dr Blinn with HP helped in
figuring this part out).

Currently I am able to see the hd, partition, and mount the hd and
maybe write a small number of files. However when I try and do
anything even remotely intensive, it hangs. (Everything).

Looking at the logs I don't see anything specific.

thanks,
James
