I found what was causing the problem.
I had two scsi cards set to the same scsi host id. Double plus ungood as they say in the Microsoft world.
Another problem I have seen before with scsi. Not certain if there is a clean work around other than "don't do that". If you have a scsi card compiled into the kernel and as a module (left over from a previous build), the kernel tends to see the card twice and then choke and die. It would be nice (though I am not holding my breath) to have the module check to see if that functionality exists in the kernel already and refuse to load. (With apreopreate error message of course.)
