wait... you don't have _anything_ connected to that bus, internal or external?
Thats an explanation. 

Does the scsi kit have its own internal terminator?
In this case enable it... one might be just enough to prevent the bus hang.

Otherwise, adding a terminator at the outside will probably help.

If you have a passive one around, it will be enough for this purpose (but
not for fast scsi data transfers, once devices are connected; fast scsi 
needs active termination.)
