Yup. We've seen it. Know what it is too. It's not your disks, it's
your tape driver software (if in fact what you are getting is what we had)
Do you see tape drive errors in the errlog? You mentioned "while doing
restore" which is what keyed it for me. We installed a new patch from Ultrix
Support, tmscp.o, and the next time the tape drive was accessed, wham!
the same panic. I suggest if you can, to back out the copy of tmscp.o etc
and replace it with the previous version. 
Good Luck.....
