Maybe a simple delay somewhere in the boot sequence would suffice? Boot with `mount_delay=10'.
But it sure would be nice to simply get this stuff right somehow. If the USB block driver knows that discovery is still in progress it should wait until it has completed. (I suggested that before, but wasn't 100% convinced by the answer). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
