Comments/Problems:
Tried both GRUB and GRUB2
SCSI controller is an on-board dual channel Adaptec AIC 7895C Ultra Wide LV 
Differential with 5 discs on channel A and correctly terminated, none on 
channel B.
Channel B cable is not connected, internal controller termination enabled. 
There does not appear to be any manual way to set the SCSI BIOS for channel B 
disabled, it is just set to default configuration, but Knoppix 5.1.1 CD 
reports that it is BIOS disabled, and simply assumes the default parameters.
On re-boot the A channel is identified, but kernel panic while checking the B 
channel 

scsi 0 : adaptec AIC 7xxx EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA Driver, Rev 7.0
            <Adaptec aic 7895 Ultra SCSI adapter>
            aic 7895C: UltraWide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs
ACPI : PCI Interrpt 0000:00:05.1 [B] -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
Kernel Panic - not syncing: HOST_MSG_LOOP with invalid SCB ff

Hangs
