How to skip scripts for already-claimed devices (kernel 2.4)

How to skip scripts for already-claimed devices (kernel 2.4)

[Ran Talbott]

I've got an old tablet (120MHz Pentium) that I've converted for use as an 
in-car navigation and music player.  I'm getting hammered on startup 
times because it takes so long to run the hotplug scripts.  I actually 
had applications run by init scripts fail because their USB devices 
weren't configured yet.

I got around that by modprobe-ing drivers,  but I'm still seeing delays 
in "ready-to-run" of a minute or more because the system is busy running 
CPU-intensive scripts for devices that are already configured.

Maybe I haven't been using the right search keywords,  but I haven't 
turned up any effort to speed up the usb map searches,  or a way for a 
script to determine that it isn't needed because the device is already 
claimed by a driver.  Have I missed something?  Or has nothing been done 
about this?

Thanks,

Ran
