Hi,
I would like to explore if there is a way so that I can set the order of initialization of different kernel sub systems. The main reason I would like to do this is because I have a network driver built statically in the kernel which wants to download firmware from the disk, but the IDE subsystem and root FS is not mounted yet so it basically hangs for a minute waiting to dowload firmware and then proceeds with the boot sequence. If I could ensure that IDE subsys is initialized and root FS is mounted before networking is initialized, this problem probably will not occur.
Thanks. George.
