The basic cause of the problem is well known - it comes down to memory
fragmentation, the kernel needs to allocate a contiguous chunk of
memory for the scsibus at the time its created.  On a system that has
been running a while, especially with smaller memory, sometimes it
can't find a large enough chunk to use.
