Can you change that line to: rmmod scsi_wait_scan >/dev/null 2>&1 modprobe scsi_wait_scan >/dev/null 2>&1 rmmod scsi_wait_scan >/dev/null 2>&1 And then see where it hangs? I modified the lines to: rmmod scsi_wait_scan modprobe scsi_wait_scan rmmod scsi_wait_scan and received the following error messages on screen: ERROR:Module scsi_wait_scan does not exist in /proc/modules (With rmmod scsi_wait_scan >/dev/null 2>&1 modprobe scsi_wait_scan >/dev/null 2>&1 rmmod scsi_wait_scan >/dev/null 2>&1 i only see a black screen, no output and no comments...) Regards Karsten Can you try: echo 'removing scsi_wait_scan:1' rmmod scsi_wait_scan echo 'inserting scsi_wait_scan' modprobe scsi_wait_scan echo 'removing scsi_wait_scan:2' rmmod scsi_wait_scan I added the following lines to rc.sysinit, here are the results: echo 'removing scsi_wait_scan:1' rmmod scsi_wait_scan This line generates the error messages: ERROR:Module scsi_wait_scan does not exist in /proc/modules echo 'inserting scsi_wait_scan' modprobe scsi_wait_scan Here the system stop booting, a blinking cursor is the only thing, which is shown. No error message on screen, a ctrl+c brings the system to reboot. echo 'removing scsi_wait_scan:2' rmmod scsi_wait_scan I dont reach this line... Regards Karsten An update to kernel 2.6.31.5-96.fc12.i686 and initscripts-9.02-1.i686 solved the problem on my site. Booting now works fine. Thanks for your help! |
Description of problem: When booting the kernel 2.6.31.1-56.fc12.i686 and using initscripts-9.00-1.i686 the system boot stops at the following line in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit # Sync waiting for storage. { rmmod scsi_wait_scan ; modprobe scsi_wait_scan ; rmmod scsi_wait_scan ; } >/dev/null 2>&1 There is no error message to be seen. When i comment out this line, booting works ok. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.6.31.1-56.fc12.i686 initscripts-9.00-1.i686 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Booting with kernel 2.6.31.1-56.fc12.i686 and using initscripts-9.00-1.i686 2. When rc.sysinit reaches the chapter "Sync waiting for storage" the booting stop. No message, no logfile written. Actual results: Prompt stays on screen, waiting, nothing to be seen on screen, no message, no logfile written. Expected results: Booting continues according to the steps in rc.sysinit. Additional info: On a console,rmmod scsi_wait_scan returns: rmmod scsi_wait_scan ERROR: Module scsi_wait_scan does not exist in /proc/modules modprobe scsi_wait_scan give no result back on screen, the cursor just flushes. A lsmod |grep scsi shows then: lsmod | grep scsi scsi_wait_scan 1188 1 another rmmod scsi_wait_scan returns: rmmod scsi_wait_scan ERROR: Module scsi_wait_scan is in use I dont have any scsi-Devices attached to my hardware, just a single SATAII HD and a ATAPI DVD/CD.
