Have you customized the kernel for the machine?  Or are you running
the GENERIC kernel.  I have had 2 sites report ASUS-PCI/I-486SP3G boot
hangs when using the GENERIC kernel (though I can not duplicate them
here) that went away once they built a kernel specifically for the
hardware they had.

Have you triple checked your SCSI bus termination, and when the hang
happens does your SCSI drive LED tend to be on solid indicating a
scsi bus hang?
