Heh, that will not work.  What about the drivers that wait 5 seconds in
their probe functions before doing device discovery?  Seriously, we have
them...

Only thing waiting 5 seconds would tell you is that nothing has changed
in 5 seconds, not that you are finished doing anything.

Why not just do what every other distro does and do the udevstart-like
stuff before checking any filesystems...

thanks,
