Having problems with Dec 5000/200 and 3rd yMparty SCSI drive

I just received a DecStation 5000/200 with a DataSafe 1500MB disk drive.
I installed the 4.1 ultrix software on a current RZ55 with no problem.
However, after numerous attempts at trying to install on the 1500MB I'm
at wits end. I've re-formatted it, bad-block scanned it, tested it with
the system dskx program and it works fine. Every time I try and install
either a bootable system on it, or a diskless client area, I get a
"cpu panic: asc_dmarestart" error shortly after it starts to install the
root partition or the subsets (depending on which way I'm installing).
This 5000/200 is on a net with a VAX 6210 running VMS and DecNet, 2 Dec 3100's
still on Ultrix 3.1 with NFS and DecNet, and a PC running PC-NFS.
Anybody got any ideas (I am working with DataSafe too, but no dice yet).
Mike...
