I have just upgraded from woody to sarge, including a kernel upgrade to kernel 2.4.27-2-686. I have an old Adaptec 2940 card (which contains another OS and is not used by debian). During the startup it seems to try to load the SCSI driver several times then hangs. Removing the /etc/rc2.d/xxxhotplug link stops this from happening and allows a normal bootup (ie the problem is with hotplug). If I do "lsmod" the output includes:
aic7xxx_old 120520 0 (unused) ide-scsi 10032 0 scsi_mod 95108 2 [aic7xxx_old ide-scsi usb-storage] .. ie the SCSI module is loaded prior to running hotplug. However, if I issue # /etc/init.d/hotplug start I get the hang again. I have got the following in my /var/log/syslog: Apr 26 23:16:25 debian kernel: scsi2 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.4 Apr 26 23:16:25 debian kernel: <Adaptec 2940 SCSI adapter> Apr 26 23:16:25 debian kernel: aic7870: Single Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs Apr 26 23:16:25 debian kernel: Apr 26 23:16:40 debian kernel: Vendor: QUANTUM Model: FIREBALL_TM3200S Rev: 300N Apr 26 23:16:40 debian kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Apr 26 23:16:40 debian kernel: (scsi2:A:0): 10.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 15) Apr 26 23:16:40 debian kernel: (scsi1:-1:-1:-1) Referenced SCB 255 not valid during SELTO.

Apr 26 23:16:41 debian kernel: SCSISEQ = 0x5a SEQADDR = 0x18 SSTAT0 = 0x10 SSTAT1 = 0x8a How can I prevent this from happening? ie - how can I stop hotplug from trying to reload the module. Is it actually necessary to run hotplug in the first place?? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
