Have you tried removing/reseating the data cable on both ends?   I've seen 
this work a handful of times.  Also, SCSI or other?   If SCSI, is it 
properly terminated, and with the correct ID?  I once replaced a SCSI hard 
drive, and due to some technical change that completely baffled me, using 
the same cable, and ensuring IDs were all correct (unchanged), could not 
get the system to properly boot?  In the end, a colleague with similar 
knowledge ended up relocating the SCSI terminator on the cable itself.  No 
reason why it needed to be relocated, but that solved the problem.

Try cabling and see what happens...
