The nosleep stuff is there to just make the initial startup faster. It's no fun waiting for udev to time out for devices that we know will never get a device symlink (like floppy and tty devices.) Does that help? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
