Hallo
Sometimes I have the same problem (Adaptec 2940u).
But it doesn't happen on every reboot.
Somewhere in the Suse dist. 4.2 there is a hint
to solve the problem but I couldn't find it again.
I think it was like this:
Give the kernel the boot parameter "aic7xxx=noreset".
(aic7xxx is the driver for my scsi adapter)
Then the scsi adapter will not make a reset again.
Hope that's right and will help you.
