	In discussion over in bugzilla, we determined another workaround.  You
can use the "--with=scsi_wait_scan" option when running mkinitrd OR
create the file /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd with the following line in it:

MODULES=scsi_wait_scan

	Then recreate your initrd.  It works slightly differently but has the
same effect and you're not modifying mkinitrd.
