Seems to be a race-condition somewhere in the kernel drivers. Let's see whether an upcoming kernel version fixes it. > BTW, it took more than 3 hours to boot from CD.

No, it does not scan the whole disk of course. scanpartitions just takes a look at /proc/partitions, tries to identify the filesystems on the available partitions and reports them in an appropriate format for rebuildfstab, which tries to build an appropriate /etc/fstab then. I'd like to find out what's going on on your system. Can you please boot your system with 'grml nofstab', run grml-hwinfo and send me the resulting info.tar.bz2 (off the list)? If you manually run 'scanpartitions' - is it what runs that long? regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
