[Bug 290153] Re: Fails to find boot device in Intel D945Gnt

[nomoa]

We are also affected by this bug. We have had to use rootdelay workaround with a 420 delay. We use use a Dell PV-124-T LTO-2 autochanger which takes ages to load and because devices appears after the autochanger init we have to wait for long time.
I'm a bit confused with proposed kernel fix, cause this server is our bacula backup system I cannot use it as scratchpad, we'll wait for an official fix, sorry. Feel free to ask complementary informations.
