Try to put the card into another slot or remove it from the slot it is installed in and reinstall it. Reroute the SCSI cabling and make sure the cable is correctly terminated. Verify that the power supply to the SCSI drives is in excellent condition; try not to connect several drives to one power connector line and avoid using (additional) Y-connectors.
Try out if the old card still works. Check the number of commands that can be queued in the settings of the SCSI driver and eventually reduce the number.
If you have several cards installed, remove them as far as possible and try if it works. If it does, reinstall the other cards one after another to find out if there's some card that interferes with the SCSI controller.
