I read through all the "waiting for CAM" threads so I don't think this is redundant.
I installed a new SATA PCI Express controller to add some drives. (https://www.newegg.com/p/17Z-00AP-000D7?Item=9SIA4REEJK9260)
Drives are recognized by the BIOS but get the "Root waiting for CAM" error. I tried at least a dozen boots and it never booted. Even after hours of waiting for CAM.
As a part of troubleshooting I rebooted with Kernel Debug on (option 5) on the menu.
It boots perfectly with Kernel Debug on. It's been back up and running for several days with no issues and 4 new drives added. I have rebooted over 30 times just to see if I can get it to fail and it doesn't.
The only down fall is a bunch more detail getting dumped to the monitor but I almost never have a monitor hooked up to it so for me it's no issue.
Does any one know how to force Kernel Debug at boot? I played around with grub settings but couldn't get it to work. I would like to have this machine be able to boot unattended without a keyboard.
