2.6.21.7 (man, these silly numbers, no idea why people want to keep
them :)) should not be affected, as far as I know, but recent kernels
might need a one-line fix to a (broken) udev rule, no to delay
handling of some scsi devices, and wait at the wrong device for a
sysfs file which will never appear. You can try commenting out a rule
in /etc/udev/rules.d/*.rules, which has WAIT_FOR_SYSFS="ioerr_cnt" or
similar.
