I saw Doug ask you to take everything off the bus except for one device, and try booting to see what setups work and which ones don't. When doing this, use manual termination in Adaptec BIOS. Be a minimalist - start out with a very small configuration and keep adding things until it fails. Be very sure of the termination jumpers on your SCSI devices, and that you have quality cables.
