Would this behaviour be changed by changing from

CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC=y

to:

CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC=n

in the kernel configuration?

I will probably leave it set "y" and just have a custom delay script as 
I would like to be able to use stock debian kernels even though I 
usually custom compile them.
