Are you using the aic7xxx driver for SCSI, or aacraid for SCSI RAID?


Change the order in which modules are loaded in your initial ramdisk
to make sure the boot disk's drivers are loaded first.  Then make sure
you're using file system labels in /etc/fstab and /etc/grub.conf to
have it find LABEL=/.  Only after that's working should you try
plugging in another SCSI controller.

Thanks,
Matt
