If while booting I hit Ctrl-c while the system is booting I get the system to boot and the drive works well. If I comment out the line in /etc/fstab for the scsi device then the systems boots. Has anyone experienced anything like this before, or have a suggestion to get the system to boot properly.
I suspect your problem is that adding in the new drive has either: 1) upset the order of the partitions and/or drives but this should only be true if you had other /dev/sdx drives on the system. 2) More likely, a partition on the new drive failed a check on trying to mount so the system is letting you sort things out. Best thing to do is to comment out the /etc/fstab entries for the new drive and boot. Then look around and then try to mount those partitions manually and look for errors. Also look at how the new drive is 'seen' by the system and include some information in your next email. There's not really enough to go on. But situations like you are in are pretty common when adding in new drives/controllers unless careful planning is done ahead of time.
