Yes, superficially, but the issue isn't specific to LILO. And it won't be solved by changing what you wait for, unless your root device is a bare partition, because RAID and LVM activation isn't periodically rerun while polling for the root device. And this part is right, because RAID shouldn't be assembled before all constituent devices had a chance to appear. But spotting this isn't simple: modprobe scsi_wait_scan accounts for the asynchronous SCSI scan only. One could also force synchronous scanning by setting scan=sync for scsi_mod (the default changed not so long ago) and solve the SCSI part another way. Other types of devices may have similar issues, but I never met or heard of them, so solving the SCSI case would probably solve the largest part of the problem. -- Feri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
