Red Hat nash problem

[Paul Furness]

Hmmm. It looks like it's taking its time detecting the SCSI devices. All
AIC79xx controllers, interestingly enough, although some of the servers
are Dell (poweredge 1650, 1750 and 2650s) and some are completely
different manufacturers.

Thanks for the tip - I hadn't really though about it and therefore
didn't appreciate what "quiet" meant...
