I don't fully understand this error message, or why it is intermittent,
but the times that I have seen it have always seemed to relate to the driver
for the SCSI adapter.  You haven't mentioned one, but since you have SCSI
devices, there must be one; it might be built into the motherboard.

  At some point during the boot process, there is a step that initializes
the SCSI controller, and that should show up on the screen.  That will say
what controller you have; then check the web to see if there is new firmware
or driver software available.
