            I have been having problems with hwscan on boot of non-SuSE kernels
    where it hangs forever, looked at /var/log/messages and found oops in a
    module.
            I just moved hwscan out of /etc/init.d to somewhere where I could
    retrieve it, so I could get the latest kernels booted. This script also
    calls /usr/sbin/hwbootscan, but it wasn't necessary to do anything with it.
            You didn't say what made you want to do this, be interested to know.
    Regards
    Sid.
