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.

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.
What is making me do it? It seems to me that it is taking a bit longer to boot than it did with v8.1 and since my hardware does not change even on a six-monthly basis I thought performing the hwscan at each boot was a waste of time. As I said, someone had the same idea, asked the question, and received a response which I couldn't remember. Apart from that, there are no sinister motives behind my request :-). -- Understanding only begins with the act of perception.
