Had the Same problems with my SCO servers.
It turned out to be APC Powerchute software. If you are using the old powerchute software stop it, uninstall it and only use the software that comes with SCO 6 (mkdev apc). The core problem is with the serial ports, there is something in the serial ports that can cause software that worked great with sco 5.07 to cause SCO 6 to freeze. They changed the way that the serial ports work. So if you are not using APC powerchute software, check any software that uses serial ports.

Specify the fsname. I have no idea if/where this is used.
-v Be verbose.
