I'm assuming that the install kernel is less agressive in probing the
bus, the only other explanation I can think of is that probing the bus
after loading the kernel from a disco on the bus is causing the problem.
This seems a bit unlikely, but probably not impossible ;-). I've printed
out the relevant bits of the kernel source and am trying to make sense
of it. This is not likely to happen anytime soon.
It seems to be the Seagate disc that I'm having trouble with and using
the blacklist to stop the LUN probes has made no difference. I might try
one or two of the other options later on (if I can work out what what
they're likely to do).
