I have a Xeon with onboard SCSI controller (Adaptec 7899W) and single SCSI 
disk.

The system tries to boot and recognises the disk, but on the SCSI 
initialisation the following message repeats

scsi: aborting due to timeout : pid 0 scsi 0 channel 0 id 0 lin 0
     "                                                  1       "

etc.

Has anybody encountered this problem and is there a fix.
