Sounds like your hard drive is frequently failing to spin up when the
SCSI controller signals it to spin up, meaning that it might be time
to replace the hard drive. This is a common failure mode for the
older SCSI hard drives. The drive controller is working, so the drive
passes the "presence test", but it is not "READY", so you can't boot
from it.

I had a Linux firewall that would sometimes work, sometimes not.
(Worse yet it was headless, so I couldn't see what it was doing - or
not.) Connected a monitor and saw that the HDD was not coming up.
(Good grief! I had spent a lot of time building this thing.)
Tonight I hung another identical HDD on the SCSI bus, booted to a Live
CD, got both HDD's up and running, did a "dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb",
came back a while later, jumpered sdb to replace sda, swapped sda out,
and it appears to be working swell again.
