Hi group,

I am not sure if this is a bug in sd.c or setup problem or even
something else but on my system (2.6.8 - Fedora based distro) with
AHA-2940 SCSI controller and a removable syquest drive (SQ3270S) I
encounter the problem as per subject line. On boot-up, whenever the
relevant modules are loaded, it tries to spin-up the SyQuest drive and
this fails unless there is medium inserted in the drive. The problem is
that it tries to do it at all but even worse that it doesn't give up!
The solution is to insert the medium and allow it to spin-up. The
booting can then continue but whenever I remove the medium - the eternal
"spinning up drive" message and the 1s period of activity LED blinking
come back :-( In the /proc entries the drive is properly recognised as
"removable".

Any clues on how to get rid of that?

TNX.
