Yes, I did the power off and got the same error.
Also, I can successfully probe the disk.

Ans: I did a power off of the system and boot again but still with the error.

Ans: I am aware that the disk is an SCSI type, so, i issue the command below at the ok prompt and get the ff. result:
Code:
ok probe-scsi-all

By system default config, hdd is connected to SCSI Port1 of the Mobo. So, I transferred the hdd to SCSI Port 2 and the next time i booted the system, it can now boot successfully with no errors found. Replacing the hard disk will get rid of the 'I/O timed out' too. You might have a failing HDD.
