dmesg output from booting 2.4.20-2.2smp
During this operation is modprobe/insmod running somewhere ? |
On a system with SCSI disks and the primary ide controller disabled in the BIOS, the ide driver takes far too long to time out an open operation on /dev/hda. This results in lilo taking forever to run. [root@localhost etc]# time dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=1k dd: opening `/dev/hda': No such device or address real 0m14.828s user 0m14.780s sys 0m0.030s [root@localhost etc]# dmesg of boot to follow.
