I had the exact same(?) problem as yours (at least the symptoms where
the same).
After a long time, i've discovered i didn't setup the jumper
correctly on the drive for the termination. It should have been
terminated, as the last hardware on my SCSI bus, but it wasn't (my
fault).
The BIOS sees it, linux sees it at boot time, it shows up correctly
in /proc/scsi/scsi but of course i couldn't use it...
I've thaught it couldn't be a termination problem as everyone sees
the disk, but it was... Probably termination is only used for data,
so that a drive can appear correctly but be unable to work if the
termination is not right.
Short story : check (double check, triple check, etc...) your SCSI
bus & drive jumpers wrt SCSI termination.
hope that helps.
