Ok, first the conclusion... 

I am not able to boot anymore from a 3.0-current system while I can boot
quite nicely from the 3.0-RELEASE generic kernel. 

The system hangs on checking the scsi chain and remains stopped here. The
last thing I can see on the screen is the :
Waiting 3 seconds for SCSI devices to settle

And nothing else happens anymore. So I have to hard reset the box.

here is a dmesg from the 3.0-RELEASE generic kernel.

### End kernel ###

I have also a cdrom installed on id #5 , but it is not listed in the
GENERIC kernel's dmesg, because with -CURRENT it logs some error about
timeout, so I decided to put out of the chain. But the hans problem is
still here also without cdrom.

The mainboard is an asus P2B-S with scsi onboard (bios 2.01).
I use the bios default fro the controller...

Please answer...
