Hi all, when my system boots, it prints the above mentioned message, and then sometimes it hangs. Hitting the reset button usually helps. This seems to happen only after turning on the system, not after typing `reboot', say. It used to say `waiting 8 seconds...' and then it hang almost every time. So I reconfigured my kernel and now it only sometimes hangs. Maybe I can get it to never hang by waiting even longer, but I'm flabbergasted as to why it needs to wait so long? I have previously had Linux (SuSE 6.0, of all things) running on the same system, which came up fine without such a wait (or maybe it sneaked the wait in somewhere where I couldn't see it). I'm sure there is a very good reason for this, can you enlighten me? I've got an ASUS P2B-S motherboard (with its on-board Adaptec controller) and the following SCSI devices: ,----- | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: sa0: <HP HP35470A T503> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: sa0: 5.000MB/s transf | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: ers (5.000MHz, offset 8) | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: changing root device to da0s1a | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: cd0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 3 lun 0 | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: cd0: <TEAC CD-ROM CD-532S 1.0A> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: cd0: 20.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 16) | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: cd0: cd present [319088 x 2048 byte records] | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: da0: <IBM DDRS-34560D DC1B> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled | Mar 19 22:24:37 slowfox /kernel: da0: 4357MB (8925000 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 555C) `----- Running 3.1. kai -- I like _b_o_t_h kinds of music.
