Unfortunately, my SCSI devices are 3 hard drives, a CD-ROM and a tape
drive. I tried to boot without the CD-ROM and tape drive, but that
didn't work. Of course I couldn't boot without the hard drives.

Loading sd_mod.ko module
Loading aic7xxx.ko module
So I think this might be related to the SCSI adapter(s) I have in the
machine. I have searched far and wide on this great world wide web of
ours and have found many issues that seem related. I have even posted
messages on this mailing list when I thought it was a different
problem. I am starting a new thread with a (hopefully) clearer
subject.
Is the SCSI device your main disk, or is it inessential?
I'm no guru, but if I had this error I would try the following:
(1) Try booting with "linux noprobe".
(2) Try adding scsi_adapter=off to /etc/modprobe.conf
(3) Try moving the aic7xxx entries from /lib/modules/<kernel version>
(3) Try booting with "linux pci=off"
(4) If the SCSI device is inessential, remove the SCSI card
If you get the machine to boot, I would re-compile the kernel,
perhaps with the SCSI driver in the kernel proper rather than a module.
