I had an IBM PC Server 325 providing some networking services.  It
worked well, but eventually died.

It sat inert for a while, but I recently purchased another one.
"Great," I though -- I'll just take the disks and the memory and
put them into the new server, and everything should work.

Unfortunately, the new machine will not boot.  Everything looks good
until it waits for the "SCSI devices to settle."  At that point,
the machine never comes back (It has to be cold booted).

It's the same machine that worked perviously, with an AIC 7880 card
(firware V1.25).  I've verbosely booted it, but I'm not sure if
that gives me any information.  After the line about waiting for
devices to settle, I get the message

     (noperiph:ahc0:0:-1:-1) SCSI bus reset delivered. 0 SCBs aborted.

then nothing.

If additional information would help, I can see if I can kludge a
serial cable together to capture the boot sequence.

I'm running 4.0-STABLE on the box, but I've tried to boot with the
4.2-RELEASE floppies, and I've observed the same behavior.

Any insights would be appreciated!
