WHEN does it reset? Do you mean right away the computer initializes, or
during the RedHat boot process?
If you mean right away, there is an option in your SCSI BIOS you can
change.
If you're referring to the point at which RedHat detects your SCSI
adapter, then sits for a few seconds and re-detects your drives, you can
reconfigure the Linux kernel to have a shorter delay for this. You'll
have to build a custom kernel and make sure you have an up-to-date
kernel version. I believe the default used to be about 10 to 20 seconds
to be on the safe side, but you should be able to drop this to 5 seconds
with no problems.
