View Full Version : Long Kernel Startup because of Raid Controller

Well in my box I have 1 harddrive (hda) and my cd burner (hdc), those are my only IDE devices in my box. While booting up my system it gets to the hardware scanning portion and sits there until it times out.


hde: no response (status = 0xfe)
hdg: no response (status = 0xfe)


That takes about 30 seconds for each time out, and gets annoying real quick. I have two built on raid controllers in the box, so I assume they are what is causing the delay.

So incase anyone is having this problem, I just added the following parameters to the kernel in my grub's menu.lst


hde=none
hdg=none


It works like a champ, incase anyone is having similar problems, this should work just fine for you.
