Hallo Sometimes I have the same problem (Adaptec 2940u). But it doesn't happen on every reboot. Somewhere in the Suse dist. 4.2 there is a hint to solve the problem but I couldn't find it again. I think it was like this: Give the kernel the boot parameter "aic7xxx=noreset". (aic7xxx is the driver for my scsi adapter) Then the scsi adapter will not make a reset again. Hope that's right and will help you.
