I'm experiencing painful delays during attempts to boot my Linux system. This is Redhat 7.1 with a recompiled generic 2.4.7 kernel. 10% or less of the time, this system will initialize the aic7xxx driver, pause for a few seconds, then recognize my scsi drives and continue with the rest of the kernel boot. 90% of the time, that pause turns into a many-minute delay as the system can't quite find my SCSI devices and proceeds into a process of various attempts to find out what's valid and what's not... Log activity shown below. I have the following equipment: Tyan Tiger 100 motherboard, 512M RAM, Two EIDE IBM hard drives on a single Promise Ultra66 controller One EIDE cdrom on the embedded PIIX4 controller Adaptec AHA-2940AU with - Microtek Scanmaker E6 on external - HP 9660 external cd burner - HP 1533 internal scsi tape unit Note that I recently took this system to another location and without the scanner online, just the external burner and internal tape, I had to reboot many times to get it to identify the HP cd burner.. Any idea what's going on here?
