https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36822 Summary: Slow boot with dc395x compiled into the kernel. Product: SCSI Drivers Version: 2.5 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: DC395X AssignedTo: scsi_drivers-dc395x@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: taxi@xxxxxxxxx Regression: No I'm using a Tekram TRM-S1040 Card with a HP Scanner connected to it. When I compile the driver directly into the kernel the kernel needs about 7 secounds to boot with a noticabe delay here: [ 3.107686] scsi 7:0:0:3: Direct-Access Generic USB MS Reader 1.03 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 [ 6.130981] scsi 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 3 (where sg0 is the scanner) Also my internal drives correlate with the USB Card-Reader, so my drives are: sda: card reader sdb: fist harddrive sdc-sde: card reader sdf: secound harddrive But if I compile the driver as a Module (so it's loaded by udev) the kernel boot time is only about 2.5 secounds, my drives are: sda: first or secound harddrive sdb: first or secound harddrive sdc-sdf: card reader also the boot-time of the whole machine (kernel + init) is reduced by around 6 to 8 secounds. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching the assignee of the bug. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
