I have tried a differnt cable (one that i tested on another server) and that has made no change, I have changed the terminators which have made no change either.  As for jumpers I cant find any on the card but as its a programmable card which is set to the manufacture defaults (which work fine on my other server), I am assuming they are correct.  I have just tried removing every device leaving just 1 processor a floppy drive 1 scsi drive plugged direct into the motherboard and one chip of ram and i still get the same problem :(

Yes... But what happens if you remove or disable the SCSI card....
Boot the system with a LiveCD such as knoppix with the SCSI card and
without the SCSI card or disabled in the BIOS. You have to rule out a
hardware problem first... if it works in Linux it's most like not a
hardware problem....
