I have a laptop that is running a kernel compiled on a system that has
SCSI disks. The laptop doesn't, but it hasn't crashed before.
2.1.103 hung on me right after the floppy drive check:
...
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306
2.1.102 didn't hang there. On 2.1.102, the output afterwards would be:
...
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.
Partition check:
...
If I took out CONFIG_SCSI=y, the problem went away. That disabled the
following options in my .config:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR=y
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y
CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN=y
CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y
CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542=y
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_PROC_STATS=y
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY=15
