It could be that the cache sync command is causing one of your disks to hang. I'm not sure that's the problem, though, since you should be able to get into the debugger when it hangs. Also, what kind of SCSI controller do you have? There was a bug in the aha, bt and ahb drivers that caused the polling-for-completion stuff to not work.
