Sorry for the cross-post but no one in gentoo-user seemed to know anything about this. Not sure if it's a kernel setting, bug, or what yet but I figured the best way to find out is toss it to the devs. :)
I have only one drive on the raid controller right now but the kernel wants to keep looking for another drive and it takes a LONG time. Is there a way to get it to not keep looking?

This is a 2.6.0-test10-mm1 kernel but it does the exact same thing on the 2.4 kernels. Also note this is a SATA drive and the only SATA connections on the system board are to the raid controller which doesn't allow disabling just the one drive port. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
