Hi! I have tried now to compile my own kernel with "PROBE ALL LUN's" and there is the problem. Loading initio.o module now takes forever... RedHat and others must have this option off in install kernel, since it always worked there! And in manual there is also said that it is not safe to have it ON! Anyway I will contact the author responsible for Initio driver to locate the problem. BUT THE PROBLEMS SEEM'S MORE GLOBAL!!! THERE IS POTENTIAL PROBLEM ON OTHER SCSI CONTROLLERS TOO!!! SAME PROBLEM IS REPORTED BY BUG #611!!! I think switching "Probe All Lun's" should definetlly be switched OFF in the default kernel!!! But I need a solution how to make a new "install disk" kernel without "PROBE ALL LUN's" so I can install Mandrake on a machine that has the same controller and SCSI disk (So I can't skip probing in install procedure...)
