Hi;
When my SuSE 8.1 box boots, It gets to "starting hardware scan on boot" and it takes a very long time to slog through this (several minutes) and earlier today, it never made it through. The only solution I found was to "reload" SuSE (do an update of all packages). So my questions are a) why do I need the "hardware scan"? I have other distros that clearly do not do this. b) which script does this? c) where in /etc might I find a script that lists the overall order of boot scripts particular to SuSE?
Thanks for help!
I believe you can go to YAST --> SYSTEM --> Runlevel editor and disable hardware scan.
