This sounds like a user configuration error. The adaptec has a bus settle time in its initialisation path. Originally it was 20s, hence for a D card (twin channel) it would take about 50s to come online (extra 5s to scan per channel). There was a lot of argument about this, and the value was finally made configurable as CONFIG_AIC79XX_RESET_DELAY_MS I suspect you have this set to around 15000. You can make the boot sequence shorter by reducing this value. I believe Red Hat configures it down to the default 5000.
