We do use it in initramfs-tools. There is quite a number of bug reports moaning about having to boot with `scsi_mod.scan=sync'. I didn't pass them on, because I didn't knew that the module itself got broken, for example: http://bugs.debian.org/616689 -- maks -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
