I'm unable to boot using 2.1.123; booted fine on all kernels since 2.1.115
including 2.1.123Pre3.

I'm seeing the following on the console:

(scsi0:0:-1:-1) Scanning Channel for devices
SCSI: Aborting command due to timeout, pid 0, scsi 0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Test Unit Ready 00 00 00 00 00
SCSI host 0 abort (pid 0) timed out - resetting
SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0
(SCSI0:0:0:0) Device reset, Message buffer in use
SCSI host 0 channel 0 reset (pid 0) timed out - trying harder

The last 4 messages repeat indefinitely until <ctrl-alt-del>

A normal boot looks as follows:
