Do you know if you are using the kernel with the PIO mode SCSI mods, or
the standard kernel with DMA support?  The SCSI driver's is relatively
broken on the VS3100/M30/M38/M40/M48.  But it seems to work if forced into
Programmed I/O mode.  The transfer rates are an abysmal 30K/sec but it
does work.

The 1.2G and 1.3_ALPHA kernels with the appropriate PIO mods are available
