Description Peter Warasin 2005-07-07 17:18:32 UTC
Description of problem:
in my vmware environment (with BusLogic scsi emulation) the initrd produces
symbols not foudn errors. after it loads scsi_mod the next module (sg_mod) does
not find the symbols which are provided by scsi_mod.
i added a sleep 5 after the scsi_mod insmod, that solves *this* problem.

but on creating the device files (mkdevices) which is directly after loading the
BusLogic driver, the system freezes. i have solved that problem adding a sleep 5
after loading all the modules.

that *could* be not bad to have it generally, because some other modules could
have the same problem. a sleep before continuing normal operation could prevent
this. however it's not a good solution to sleep, but i see no other chance.

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!
