Each PIX remains in a "waiting" mode until it hears 30 seconds worth of "hello" packets from the other unit.
Check this
Cisco recommends turn off channel, trunk , turn on portfast
if you are running catos you can do it with command
set port x/x host
if IOS
conf t
interface x/x
switchport mode acces
switchport spantree portfast
M.
hope that helps rate if it does

Hi,
The "normal (waiting)" status is usually a L2 issue. You can double-check the configuration and/or cables on the switch
