[SOLVED]scanning bus for storage devices... Device NOT ready
Posted: 22 Jan 2017, 00:45
Booting porteus 3.01, 3.1 and 3.2.2 from 3 identical, brand new Kingston DataTraveler G4, 8gb usb keys. All versions are Bios and Mate desktop on vfat file systems. Am also mounting a rootcopy directory from and ext4 hard disk, to keep it consistent among the 3 porteus versions.
On boot up, was getting an intermitent (read 1 every 5 boots and independant of porteus version): "scanning bus for storage devices... Device NOT ready" error, and laptop freezes up. Needs to be unplugged and battery removed to reboot.
Thinking this could be caused by a slow hard disk (thinkpad X41T laptop - old hardware), checked the forums and found the cheatcode "delay=xx", and added it to porteus.cfg
It works great in 3.01 and 3.2.2, no more problems. But in 3.1, i get
"^Starting Init Script <http://www.porteus.org/>)
delaying 11 sec (waiting for slow devices to settle up)"
and stays there forever. What's strange is that if I use delay <= 10 it boots ok, but with intermitent freeze. Delay >=11 it freezes.
3 porteus versions uname -a
Any help in what to look for, is appreciated.
