(Forgot to include "linux-alpha" in the original recipient list, so the next few messages are an attempt to fix that. Please copy "debian-alpha" on any replies.) Perhaps the subject isn't entirely accurate, but that's what seems to be the case. After loading the initial ramdisk, the boot process stalls (loops indefinitely) with "mdadm" complaining about not being able to scan the disks defined in its configuration file, which is bone-stock. What makes this particularly infuriating is, I don't have anything configured for "mdadm" to worry about, which is what's normally found, i.e., nothing of interest. The 4.13 kernel loads and boots just fine with exactly the same up-to-date (unstable/experimental) userspace libraries and utilities. Bottom line: the 4.14 kernel doesn't seem to detect my SCSI disks for some reason. All the recent patches (end of October time frame) for PCI on alpha (I *think* mostly having to do with addressing some weird kind of libata conflict) didn't make any difference. Any idea what's causing this?
