I have a 586dx with 2 p133 and probably the same HD -IBM DCAS34330. 
I had no problems getting linux 2.0.29 up+running. I first installed a 
windoze partition and then installed the linux partitions. 
Perhaps it is a termination problem? Check what happens if you 
disable the scsi adapter! ps. What distrib/version are you using?

I can mail you my bios settings if that helps.

Good luck, jc
