We need the kernel option from then on for the kernel used by squeeze. We typically have mdadm style software raid on all boot systems, using /dev/md0 typically as root file system. The rootdelay=9 doesn't cause much delay - that is the maximum it might wait, but for us it perhaps pauses for 1 second. On the most recent case, I saw this problem appear with an Intel based motherboard, the SE7520JR22, from around 2006. We are booting from a pair of SCSI drives on Ultra 320 with chipset Symbios Logic 53c1030. I also had a problem last year with an IBM xSeries 345. In that case we needed 'rootdelay=9' and also kernel option: 'scsi_mod.scan=sync'. Again, the up to date kernel from Debian 5 didn't require this option to boot up the system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
