My Guess is still some sort of hardware problem.  Generally there
isn't any problem with using a SCSI and IDE together (there is no
reason for there to be, except for maybe an IRQ conflict).  Try checking
the SCSI FAQ, they might have something (sorry, I don't know the URL
offhand). 

Hope this helps,
