After booting liveCD, if one tries to load sym53c8xx module system will hang with several scsi timeouts from scsi subsystem. I think it could be caused by USB modules that are compiled into the kernel and loaded automatically at startup. This module (sym53c8xx) has to be insmodded before USB to work properly?!
Not sure. What type of SCSI card do you have? Assigning to viz.
Controller tested is Tekram DC-390U3W, tried both with sym53c8xx and sym53c8xx_2, similar result.
can you give more info about your system Im using the exact same scsi card, which works fine with livecd. btw, check irq's

Have you tried the noapic, acpi=off kernel parameters. I was playing around with apm yesterday, and had almost the exact same problem as you when it got to the scsi card. Never would finish booting..
need followup info
rc3 version of livecd works fine.
db fix
