I'm not sure where the delay factor comes in, that's a relatively recent
addition to the kernel.  As for the former, do you have to use an SBC
kernel?  If the ncrscsi kernels will work, I'd try that as a temporary
work around.  But, since we probably want to debug this problem, can you
drop into the debugger at this point (where it hangs) by hitting the
programmer's switch and then send us the output of the the 'trace'
command?  If that works, someone will have a place to start looking.

Well, you shouldn't have too many problems as a result.  It's only when
you're upgrading binaries with a significantly older kernel that you'll
have trouble.  (But it's generally a good idea to get a newer kernel
first, anyway :-)

Later.
