Dear All,
I just today installed Debian for the first time
(Yeah!), and it mostly went OK. But on bootup,
there is a major annoyance when it gets to
detecting my scsi devices. Debian does correctly
identify my scsi card (Advansys) but then it
takes FOREVER to test for connected scsi
devices. Each test results in a timeout error,
and this increases bootup time long enough to
brew a cup of coffee. This whole scuzzy scsi
detection procedure generates quite a few
messages, which I've included below. On this same
machine I have SuSE installed, and it doesn't
produce all these error messages, so I'm
wondering if there is a way to bypass all this
nonsense? Of course, I DO want it to be able to detect
a connected scsi device when one is present. Any ideas
would be greatly appreciated. I'm running testing.
Thanks in advance,
Robert Storey
