Bug Description

I have successfully booted machines of various manufacture from the daily CDs from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/dapper/daily/20071207.2/ that I burned here. Despite this, neither the i386 and amd64 CDs will boot on our IBM x3200. I get a message saying that the kernel is starting, and then some PCI output errors. The system is completely unresponsive for at least 15 minutes, and then a message appears saying that the log daemons are starting. At this point a Ctrl-Alt-Del will reboot, but leaving it running even overnight did not make any progress in the boot process.

Once I figured out how to turn off "quiet" in the boot options (odd default for a server install CD!) I got the output depicted in the second attachment. It looks as though it may have trouble with the SCSI driver. This may be related to a problem I see on an x3500 (bug to be filed shortly) where the system does boot but seems unable to detect the SAS drives.
