Re: [Gnoppix-user] scsi boot hangs

[david howe]

Hi all

I have reported this as a bug in the earlier beta version2. I can
confirm that I have exactly the same problem with version3.

I managed a workaround by installing gnoppix on my ide drive after I
removed the scsi card. When I rebooted with the scsi card installed
everything was fine.
