Sounds like improper termination of the SCSI bus.  I'm not familiar with a 2930 controller.  It sounds old (i..e precurser to 2940 which is pretty ancient).  Your best bet is to download adaptec docs on proper SCSI bus termination and check/fix as needed...

That being said, can anyone help me with my Adaptec controller problem?
 :)  Been on the phone on hold with them for about 45 minutes now :(

Since the particular servers in question run Debian 4.0r1, I thought I
 would post the question here.

Basically, these servers run one 2-ch Adaptec 2930SLP SCSI controller,
 with 4 drives on each channel.  The drives on these servers are
 arranged in the following fashion:

            4 5 6 7
            0 1 2 3

When anything is pulled from any slot other than 0 or 4, the drives
 pulled rebuild/resync properly.  However, when anything is pulled from
 slot 0 or 4, the drive error light comes on.  

These controllers have all been upgraded to the latest firmware as have
 the motherboards in these servers.  All servers are running (as of
 this posting) the latest kernel.

TIA for any help anyone can provide.
