Nothing wrong with this.

Are your two SCSI controllers handled by the same driver or through
different ones? If they're handled by two separate drivers, simply
build that one you need to boot off into the kernel and build the
other one as a module.
If theay're both handled by *one* driver, you may look at your SCSI
driver's sources to see whether or not there is a command line parameter
you could use to alter scan/probe order.
...and you may try to put your two SCSI controllers to different PCI
slots, of course...
