The last screenful of complete messages is
module scsi_mod: Relocation overflow vs section 23
WARNING: Error inserting scsi_mod

pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 432: cannot open dev/console: No such file
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
Above that is a partial message for aic7xxx.ko. Looks like it cannot
load any module from the initrd, it doesn't seem to be specific to the
sym53c875 controller.
kernel-image-2.6.8-2-generic 2.6.8-16sarge1
does boot successfully. We got an endless loop of "__find_get_block_slow failed"
messages once, but I cannot reproduce this now.
Maybe I should just rebuild the initrd for the smp kernel?
