It is not quite clear to me if this is related, however I have an HP NetServer box as well (not sure which model number) which also has two NCR controllers on the motherboard. What I found is that all PCI devices on the motherboard are detected twice and the SCSI driver for the NCR then tries to probe each twice (in parallel) and boom. I hacked the sym53c8xx.c driver to get around this quickly and get the system booted.
I know Martin Mares has some patches for this, but they are not yet in the standard tree.
