scsi error - 2.6.x

[Tim Fenn]

I receive the following error message when trying to either boot to
kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 or using the FC2 install DVD (kernel 2.6.5, I
think?):

<hangs here>

I've tried to make sure everything is terminated properly, using both
"auto" scsi termination as well as manual termination.  No change.

This problem does not occur with FC1 (2.4 kernel), and I have seen
other reports of this type to the LKML related to SCSI with 2.6:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/6/5/2

and here:

http://ronmon.shacknet.nu/configs/scsi_boot_error

but no clear solution to the problem is given.  Is there a
fix/workaround for this, other than "stick with 2.4"?
