I have the same problem with "stock" kernels (ie. one built into the
installation floppy set). It seems that someone compiles in the multi-LUN
option into the SCSI driver. I run a mix of IDE and SCSI drives. When this
occurs, I disconnect the SCSI controller and boot pure IDE. I then recompile
the kernel to get rid of that (useless to me) option and install the modified
kernel (complete with bootable floppy). After shutdown, I re-install my SCSI
controller and boot from the modified kernel and all is well! It seems to me
that if someone _insist_ on compiling in the multi-LUN option, the driver
_should_ timeout and continue with the bootup process (rather than hang up the
system).
