From the discussion in bugzilla, there's now another option (and a half). If you use the option --with=scsi_wait_scan with mkinitrd, it should do almost the same thing. It should achieve the same result just slightly differently. The half option is the same option just another way. It's the fact that this you can stick into /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd as follows: MODULES=scsi_wait_scan So now you don't have to modify the mkinitrd script and you don't have to specify it explicitly on the command line either. > Mike Mike > > Regards. > > > > On Mon, Oct 13, 2008 at 5:54 PM, Michael H.
