On my desktop Debian Sarge box hotplug scripts grind away incredibly long stretching boot time well into annoying lenght. OTOH, in my Arch laptop the modules get loaded in a snap. Considering the Arch machine is an old Thinkpad X20 with 600 MHz CPU, you can imagine my pleasure when a recent Arch update did away with hotplug... Now that we are on the subject, has anyone dumped hotplug on their Debian Sarge machine? I think I have all the parts I need already, udev, kernel 2.6.15, but I'm not sure what changes I'd have to make to get rid of hotplug and load drivers in the udev way. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
