scsi modules need some sleep or they will block in some environments
Last modified: 2008-02-11 19:46:29 EST
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. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.1.18 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: symbols not found system freezes Expected results: Additional info: patch was needed for www.efw.it rc6 and has been developed by www.endian.it
Created attachment 116483 [details] patch which solves the problem
