This part is solved - I remembered messing with SCSI drivers before in
one of my U5's and in fact writing about it to the list some time back.
The solution is the same as it was then: Instead of using the
"sym53c8xx" driver, I'm now using "sym53c8xx_2". The dmesg now looks
like this:

sym.128.2.0: setting PCI_COMMAND_PARITY...
sym.128.2.0: setting PCI_COMMAND_INVALIDATE.
sym.128.1.0: setting PCI_COMMAND_INVALIDATE.
sym.128.1.1: setting PCI_COMMAND_PARITY...
sym.128.1.1: setting PCI_COMMAND_INVALIDATE.

All is recognized the way it should be and the 18GB drive gives me a
nice 36MB/s now (according to hdparm). :-)

The SABRE0 error, however, is still present. I've checked again and it
seems to occur on almost every boot.

Cheerio,

Thomas
