Great. Now you have several options to get it work without manual intervention: * boot with rootdelay=6 (or more, as needed), or * boot with scsi_mod.scan=sync, or * load (and possibly unload) the scsi_wait_scan module after all SCSI drivers in the initramfs. The list is ordered by complexity and "correctness", as far as I know. -- Regards, Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
