Which is why I asked if the kernel had been rebuilt with the 'scan all 
luns' config option turned on.  RedHat ships with that version off 
for reasons of quicker booting.  To use the amiga timeing of 1 second 
for a device to respond, turning that on will cause a 7 second scsi 
bus scan to turn into 63 seconds.  I don't think linux waits that 
long for a response on a per device address basis, but it can still 
slow the boot a bit.

However, if redhat could see the number of messages on this list 
caused by this lack of a full buss scan, they might change their 
attitude.  But I'm not holding my breath either <G>
