I just installed a 4.5 machine and it hangs when booting at "grub
loading stage 2". Here's the strange part. It hangs only when a SCSI
disk (LVD/SE) disk is attached. SCSI card is an Adaptec 29160. When
the disk is removed, it rips right through the boot. The disk is fine
because I use the 4.5 install disk in rescue mode and I can see the
disk, mount it, and all its data is there. I tried with another disk
and I have the exact same result. I'm baffled!!

The odd's are that it's because the disks are getting re-ordered when you plug
in and unplug the scsi disks.
Without any disks there, grub is saying "here is my disk on (hd0,0) and away I
go" And since hd0,0 is the right disk, away it goes.
With the other disks there grub is saying "Well, I have two disks, (hd0,0) and
(hd1,0). I'm told I need to boot off (hd0,0) and away I go" But, in reality,
your main system disk is what grub thinks is (hd1,0) and so it's booting off
the wrong disk.
