Yeah, google is your friend (at times). That would trigger a SCSI bus scan. > Immediately after that, disk is detected. It's odd that it's not seen at all except if plugged in at boot. Sounds like a bug, although I don't know if it'd be in the SCSI driver, hotplug code or kernel itself. I'd sure bugzilla it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - A squeegee, by any other name, wouldn't sound as funny. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
