Hello, This bug is still pending in etch : I just upgrade one of our servers from kernel 2.6.18-6-686 to 2.6.24-etchnhalf.1-686 and I got bitten by this bug. Passing rootdelay=2 to the kernel at boot time seems to fix it. The configuration is Dell PowerEdge 1750 + 2 SCSI hard drives in software raid1. @+, Fab
