There was a severe kernel bug introduced in scsi layer in 2.6.3 (search
for 2.6.3 in last month archive). If you use ide-scsi emulation, you
might be affected by it. The bug is reportedly addressed in upcoming
kernel release (search for 2.6.3 in this month archive, post from
Joachim Feise).

I would suggest to downgrade to 2.6.2 or download 2.6.4 prerelease
version. A.
