Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: casper
Hi,
I have a G4 with a SCSI adapter. Without disk its probing takes time.
Output from a boot log:
[50.247180] eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full-duplex.
[62.526917] scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0
[62.526927] <Adaptec 3960D Ultra160 SCSI adapter>
[62.526932] aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs
[62.526939]
[81.654790] scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0
[81.654800] <Adaptec 3960D Ultra160 SCSI adapter>
[81.654806] aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs
[81.654812]
[85.575981] PCI: Enabling device 0001:11:04.0 (0010 -> 0012)
When booting Feisty herd 1 liveCD it doesn't find the root partition
(I'm using an USB stick with quiet and splash removed).
Output is something like:
[50.247180] eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full-duplex.
[62.526917] scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0

[62.526932] aic7899: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs
Error from casper script can't find /var/root whatever,
and ouptut of a busybox shell, follow by:
[62.526939]

[81.654812]
[85.575981] PCI: Enabling device 0001:11:04.0 (0010 -> 0012)
If I add a disk (there's a smaller timeout in this case) or remove the
card, it boots ok.
It was working with Edgy liveCD.
