I had a similar problem when I first installed (and every time I boot
a new kernel).  The problem was that the kernel was looking for the
SCSI driver at the wrong port (x330 or something).  The solution was
to figure out just where the scsi driver was (Buslogic has a config
utillity that I can escape into during boot) then boot the system with
the -c option to configure the devices.
