I know it's no help but I'm getting the same message. When it happens
it continues and continues...... I have to CNTRL-ALT-DEL.
I'm using an adaptek 2930U. My scsi bus has 4 seagate barracuda's, 1
exabyte 8500c tape, a Syquest EZ-135 removeable, and a Yamaha     
crw8424s cd writer. If remove either the exabyte or the yamaha from the
bus all works fine.
I even get hangs during the bios device search sometimes in this config.
Since I seldom need bothe the cd and tape at the same time I've been
living with it. I just leave Exabyte tape out until I need to do backup.
And no my scsi id's/termination are set correctly.
