The patch titled scsi: fix CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN=m has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is scsi-fix-config_scsi_wait_scan=m.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: scsi: fix CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN=m From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx> CONFIG_MODULES=y CONFIG_SCSI=y CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC=y CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN=m 2.6.21-rc5-mm2 VFS panics unable to find my root on /dev/sda2, but boots okay if I change drivers/scsi/Kconfig to "default y" instead of "default m" for SCSI_WAIT_SCAN. Make sure there's a late_initcall to scsi_complete_async_scans when it's built in, so a monolithic SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC kernel can rely on the scans being completed before trying to mount root, even if they're slow.
