When i see this problem with esp for another machines, i do remember that i did have weird beahaviour with first boot when i was rearranging my gear to be able to test the new ESP. I did have same kind of situation when and first disk (which i am using even now as root) was detected, but second disk got the esp in the loop where it just did walk thru scsiID by scsiID and claimed those be 'offlined due ....'. I thought it would be failing disk and swapped one from D1000 to replace it, booted and all was fine. Now that i do have glogicpti up and running again, i see that disk there and if i can provide some inquiry date with something from that disk and it would help, let me know.
