I have been having problems with hwscan on boot of non-SuSE kernels where it hangs forever, looked at /var/log/messages and found oops in a module. I just moved hwscan out of /etc/init.d to somewhere where I could retrieve it, so I could get the latest kernels booted. This script also calls /usr/sbin/hwbootscan, but it wasn't necessary to do anything with it. You didn't say what made you want to do this, be interested to know. Regards Sid. Basil Chupin wrote:
Would someone please remind me which control file, and where it resides, that needs to be massaged to stop the hardware scan on boot. (Which parameter to alter would also be helpful.) The RunLevel editor in the Control Centre refuses to switch off this check.
Thanks in advance.
