Basically, the kernel runs the SCSI initialization scripts, and they keep
timing out and re-running over and over. The only way to boot
successfully is to disconnect the drive until after boot-time.
I'll ask our sysadmin if he can log the errors, or at least write them
down. It's a long, ten-line-plus piece of information that repeats, so
that might take a little while to get.
