Subject: [Patch]: Enable SCSI Wait Scan only if BLK_DEV_INITRD is set.
Date: Mon, 22 Feb 2010 23:53:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B830AEB.3010905@googlemail.com> (raw)
Hi,
The scsi_wait_scan module should only be enabled if BLKD_DEV_INITRD is
set. And i think it's better then the user can enable/disable the module
of their own risk.
