You can override this choice by specifying "scsi_mod.scan=sync"
or async on the kernel's command line.
-config SCSI_WAIT_SCAN

-# scsi_wait_scan is a loadable module which waits until all the async scans are
-# complete. The idea is to use it in initrd/ initramfs scripts. You modprobe
-# it after all the modprobes of the root SCSI drivers and it will wait until
-# they have all finished scanning their buses before allowing the boot to
-# proceed. (This method is not applicable if targets boot independently in
-# parallel with the initiator, or with transports with non-deterministic target
-# discovery schemes, or if a transport driver does not support scsi_wait_scan.)

-# This symbol is not exposed as a prompt because little is to be gained by
-# disabling it, whereas people who accidentally switch it off may wonder why
-# their mkinitrd gets into trouble.
