Install hangs in mfsroot kernel in scsi probing

Hi
I observe the following strange endless loop when booting from the 
installation floppies on my amd duron system.

1) booting from kern disk is ok -> i do get till promt asking for mfsroot disk
2) continuing with mfsroot disk gets me to promt hit return or wait 10 sec to 
boot kernel. 
3) booting kernel is ok till it prints
    scsi waiting 15 seconds for scsidevices to settle 

    After this 15 seconds i only see a single line or two (cant tell exactly)
   scrolling endlessly repeated over the screen. It semms as if probing for 
   for the non existent  scsi harddrives sends the kernel into an endless
   loop.

I have to admit i use the 53c974 scsi controller as a mor advanced and 
extended paralleport for my mustek scsi scanner.

Or could it bee that my soundblaster live is not responding properly either or 
better at all ? ( check connection to mainboard -> change slot to one nearer 
to graphics card ?
