Precedence: bulk List-Post: List-Help: List-Unsubscribe: List-Subscribe: List-Id: Gentoo Linux mail X-BeenThere: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Reply-to: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org X-Archives-Salt: 846f9ac0-f5c8-48bd-a5de-b38977cfb0e1 X-Archives-Hash: a891b70860fec332e7fcd08ef5db45da Is there a way to make Gentoo or other Linux allow extra time when root is on a USB device? Any way to say "just a second" or more like 15 seconds before aborting with the message that root partition does not exist? In this case it's an IDE hard drive in a USB enclosure. FreeBSD seems to handle this situation better. I would get a mountroot> prompt, to which I would respond ufs:/dev/ada0p3 and be good. I could avoid this situation with /boot/loader.conf legal.realtek.license_ack=1 rsu-rtl8712fw_load="YES" kern.cam.scsi_delay="13000" # Delay (in ms) before probing SCSI kern.cam.boot_delay="16000" # Delay (in ms) of root mount for CAM bus hint.re.0.disabled="1" but don't know if Linux has anything like this. Only lines 3 and 4 are relevant to this issue; other lines are for different issues. Tom
