I don't think that the module autoload time has been fingered as taking any serious ammount of boot time due to it happening in the background of everything else. But yes, this should help it out (as long as we aren't trading I/O time for CPU time, like it can happen if you don't have a populated modules.alias file...) And yes, I've been in contact with the Ubuntu developer already about using this code, instead of dietHotplug. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
