It will only do this if you've not either included SCSI support in the
kernel statically, or not told it to load the SCSI modules at boot
time.

A quick workaround would be to edit /etc/fstab and comment out the
SCSI disk(s).  Boot the system and recompile the kernel to statically
include appropriate SCSI support.  Uncomment the entries in /etc/fstab
and reboot. That should fix it.
