My problem is that this SCSI only system is really a "stray dog" in my zoo, so I have no replacement cables / parts whatsoever, i.e., it will take a while for them to get these to me. So, since I seem to have a slightly broken machine at hand, let me know whether I can try/test anything to fix the issues the newer kernels might have. In any case, already many thanks for your quick reply!
