Same here, I had an AVA-1505 controller connected to my Mustek scanner and
while scanning, I couldn't even move my mouse pointer. Very annoying, so I gave
the SCSI card which came along with the scanner (NCR53c400a) a try and lo
behold: I was still in control of the machine while scanning! There is some
strange thing with either the AVA-1505 or its Linux driver.

Your second problem looks more like a SCSI conflict, because on another machine
with different hardware, the system locks up. Can you mail more detailed info,
like what is in your /proc/scsi/scsi ?
