- I too have the same problem. And came to the same solution. (i.e. ignore it
- and write it off to 'the drive wasn't awake' kind of thing) But testing it, this
- answer doesn't logically follow, its seems completely random in nature. And since
- it will (usually) boot the second time, I haven't worried about it. ICD stuff
- mentions about SCSI drives having some bug about intially start up, and ICD has
- a patch for some drives (but not mine) but it doesn't even seem to be this
- problem.
-
- Anyone else know what going on.
