From drivers/scsi/Kconfig (with # comments): config SCSI_WAIT_SCAN tristate # No prompt here, this is an invisible symbol. default m depends on SCSI depends on MODULES # scsi_wait_scan is a loadable module which waits until all the async scans are # complete. The idea is to use it in initrd/ initramfs scripts. You modprobe # it after all the modprobes of the root SCSI drivers and it will wait until # they have all finished scanning their buses before allowing the boot to # proceed. (This method is not applicable if targets boot independently in # parallel with the initiator, or with transports with non-deterministic target # discovery schemes, or if a transport driver does not support scsi_wait_scan.) # # This symbol is not exposed as a prompt because little is to be gained by # disabling it, whereas people who accidentally switch it off may wonder why # their mkinitrd gets into trouble. --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code ***
