Sorry, I think this is the same problem I was having with the Tyan S2895 
and its LSI 1030 controller (see earlier thread "7-CURRENT 8/15/06 
hangs: Tyan s2895 LSI 1030 mpt").  I spent a lot of time trying to get 
the issues narrowed down, and was able to get the thing booting either 
by disabling the onboard LSI 1030 and putting in an add-on 1030-R 
(RAID/Mirroring capable) card or by cvsing back to prior to July 12. 
Unfortunately, I got caught up with other stuff over the weekend and 
didn't send the email.  I wish I could have been more help.  Anyway, it 
looks like Matthew has committed the patch he posted earlier and I am 
now able to boot a new kernel just fine on the S2895 with the onboard 
controller.

The really awesome news is that this kernel appears to work just fine 
with an out-of-the-box S2895 with SCSI disks; it requires none of the 
BIOS gyrations that 6-STABLE still does.  Moreover the nfe driver lets 
me push almost line rate gigabit through the onboard interfaces.

Great work all around!  I wish I could have been more help.
