I have experienced, though, SCSI cards being probed automatically - and that can take quite a long time as each of the seven channels is probed - have you checked your log messages for stuff that is repeated - that could be the problem.
I have an Adaptect SCSI card that takes forever to probe - sometimes in execess of four minutes - I ended up rebuilding my /boot/initrd.img as well as going through the /etc/rc.d/rc and other scripts to kill it off - ended up having to actually remove the module and the module dependancies before it would boot properly... -- Tue Nov 19 06:20:00 EST 2002 -------------------------------- | __ __ | | / \ /| |'-. | | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | | | / \__.`=._) (_ |kuhn media australia | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| |http://kma.0catch.com | |'. `\ | | |stephen kuhn | ;"""/ / | | |email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| |mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " |linux user:267497 -------------------------------- Those who in quarrels interpose, must often wipe a bloody nose.
