I noticed that ever since I installed SuSE 6.3, my cdrom module loads and scans at each boot up. This really increases boot up time. I am using the sbpcd module With the default settings for my soundblaster pro cdrom. I never had this problem before ( didn't do this in previous releases 5.3- 6.2) so I don't know where the file is located that needs edited to stop this unnecessary scanning.
Can anyone tell me which file I need to edit? I tried using YaST and selecting the soundblaster pro module again, but it doesn't seem to change it. I also looked at the rc.config and modules.conf, but could not find any mention of scanning.
The modules.conf is correct: options sbpcd sbpcd=0x230,1
My system does not have a sbpcd.h file, at least it doesn't show up using locate.
Everything works, it just takes a lot longer to boot up because of the time wasted scanning for a "lasermate ?" cdrom that is not there.
Maybe the cdrom driver is loaded using the inital ramdisk. Have a look at the variable INITRD_MODULES in /etc/rc.config. Does the sbpcd appear in there? If you do not need the CD-ROM driver at bootup, just remove this entry from the list and rerun "mk_initrd". If you want to load it at bootup time, you may have to pass this parameter by using LILO (/etc/lilo.conf).
