I've seen this under 2.4.x when the machine is not processing interrupts
correctly.  I know nothing of 2.6, but it's a good bet that there is
something that is preventing the SCSI interrupt from being processed.
Under 2.4 you can verify this by checking the interrupt count from
/proc/interrupts.  Under 2.4, I would say to try booting with "noapic".
I think 2.6 has different boot options (I remember seeing something
about ACPI and interrupts).  Maybe someone else can help out here.
