Bug#2063: scsi driver sequence unreasonable

1995-12-24 Thread Bdale Garbee
Package: source
Version: 1.3.43

The file drivers/scsi/hosts.c defines the sequence in which different SCSI
controller cards are identified.  The AHA152X driver appears early in the list,
which is unreasonable if there is another, smarter, SCSI controller in the
system... since it will result in the 1510/1522/1522/etc card assuming the role
of the 0th SCSI channel.

It seems to me that the "smartest" or "fastest" cards should be listed first,
since it seems obvious that if there are multiple cards in a system, that the
fastest one should be the default for the first SCSI channel.  In my case, I
have systems with 1542B and 1740A cards which also sometimes get a 1510 card
when I need a long cable run to an external box, or more devices, or something.
I've just moved the AHA152X driver to near the end of the list, but it seems
that a more general review of the sequencing of SCSI card discovery is in
order.

Bug#2064: aha1740 driver only supports one card

1995-12-24 Thread Bdale Garbee
Package: source
Version: 1.3.43

The SCSI device driver for the AHA1740 only supports one card in a system at
one time.  This is annoying.

Bug#2065: single user isn't

1995-12-24 Thread Bdale Garbee
Package: base
Version: 0.93.6-13

It is utterly unreasonable for the system to try and do fsck's when the
system is booted with 'linux single'.  The whole point of a single user boot
is that something is wrong that needs reasoned attention from a system
adminitrator.  A single-user boot should do absolutely *nothing* that isn't
required to drop the system admin into a shell.

This caused me considerable grief when one of the disks on my system was
starting to fail, and I was desperately trying to extract a few critical
files that had been updated since the last backup.  The cycle was to boot,
snag a few files before the disk warmed up and failed, then power down to let
things cool off, then repeat.  The insistence of the system on doing fsck's
at every boot made this a much less productive process per unit time than it
could/should have been.
