Hello mm-users,
. The mysterious "machine hangs late in boot" problem has been narrowed down thanks to some great work by Andres Salomon. The machine is stuck waiting on I/O completion when performing the initial lookup for /sbin/devfs_helper:
I don't believe it to be an exclusively small-devfs helper problem.
It is an interaction at best. Sure I had problems using devfs-small, but mm2 worked and mm3 was the first that halted during boot. Both have devfs-small, and both need its helper. Or I am missing a subtlety here?
Secondly, Andrew sent me a rollup of patches against 2.5.59 he thought were suspicious, without smalldevfs and it also halted, but at another place in boot, at adding swap.
Can someone besides me confirm this behavior or am I the loon who just won't understand?
Luuk
