Yes!  Sounds just like what happened to one of my servers.  I spent 
hours trying to figure it out.

In the end I figured out that there has been some change to the SCSI 
initialisation code such that it hangs trying to detect the DVD drive if 
it doesn't have a disc in it.  Try putting a CD into your CD drive and 
boot again.

If this turns out to be your problem too please add a note to:
