Is there a card that I could replace the 39160 that SGI's XFS is happier with?
We can always recycle the 39160 into another machine.

You might try the 2.4.18-14 kernel available in the XFS 1.2 prerelease,
although this will be changing much more than just your scsi driver.
A 2.4.18-17 kernel with xfs merged will probably be available from us in
the not-so-distant future.
