Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2008-11-11 20:03:14 UTC
not a plymouth issue.  Moving to mkinitrd because that might be the source of the problem (but it might get moved to a different component still)

Were there any other messages before the ones you showed?

Comment 2 Zak Peirce 2008-11-11 20:17:13 UTC
That was the only message that displayed on the screen.  I am planning on recreating the initrd when i get back in front of that machine.  I will post the progress later on.

Comment 3 Zak Peirce 2008-11-11 22:45:47 UTC
after pulling the initrd apart and adding this to the init file I am in business

echo Waiting for driver initialization.
stabilized --hash --interval 250 /proc/scsi/scsi


not sure how i would make this appear using the mkinitrd command but manually adding it to the init seems to have solved the problem for me.

You can either use the workaround in bug #466607 comment #24, or edit your mkinitrd to add your scsi module to the set of special cases, around line 1490 or so (it sets 'wait_for_scsi').  Then you won't have to remember to hand-edit init every time you install a new kernel.  The first method causes init to insmod scsi_wait_scan, while the second method causes init to call stabilized().

Please add your experience to bug #466607, and close this one as a duplicate if the workaround(s) work for you.
