mlord; could Hijack possibly hold up the kernel from detecting the hard drive for a configurable period? Or would that have to be done elsewhere, ie: a custom build of the main kernel?
I'm not touching it for now (too easy to break it). You can rebuild the kernel from source, and change the detection logic as needed for your setup.
The file is linux/drivers/block/ide-probe.c .
Look for the line "
timeout = (HZ/4);".
Make that a bigger number (say,
(HZ) instead of
(HZ/4) and give it a try.
HZ means "one second".
Cheers
