Subject: Boot delay on a SCSI system. Anyone know why?
I have just upgraded from Red Hat 9 to Core 3. I now see that when booting I get the following behavior:
vmlinuz loads initrd loads Then it hangs for A FEW MINUTES! Then everything sort of proceeds normally.
Can someone please explain to me why such a delay exists and if it can be somehow eliminated? Also, Is this a bug that needs to be reported?
TIA
Once your machine has booted up, edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and remove "rhgb quiet" from the "kernel" line.
That will allow you to see what is going on during that "quiet" time.
