Hello all! I'm in a little bit of a pickle, and I would like to ask for some help with my particular setup. I haven't switched to `systemd` and I'm still booting my system with the old `initscripts` `/etc/rc.sysinit` and friends (except this all the packages are up-to-date). Before updating `systemd` from 216 to 217, it still worked. However after upgrading, two things happened: (A) the kernel modules firmware is not loaded any more; (I know that now the kernel automatically loads the firmware, but I'm still on Linux 3.6.11;) (B) `systemd-udevd` seems to get stuck while "doing it's magic" on something like `/sys/.../cpu0`; I've now downgraded to `systemd` 216, and marked it as ignored in `/etc/pacman.conf`, due to the firmware loading. (Issue (B) was solved by just replacing `udevadm settle` with a `sleep 6s`.) However I would be interested if someone has an idea on how to: * fix problem (A) regarding the firmware loading; (I'll have to dig the documentation, but perhaps there is a tool and some `/proc/sys/...` knob I can use...) * find a way in which I can still have my non-systemd setup; (I know about `mdev`, and other `udev` replacements, but I would prefer an `udev`-based solution just to be sure that X, or LVM, etc. don't break;) Thanks in advance, Ciprian. P.S.: Just to be clear, I don't want to start a systemd flame war. My reason for not using it is simple: I already use `runit` and custom scripts for all my services (except `udevd` and `agetty`), and my setup relies on somewhat modified `/etc/rc.d/functions` script for encrypted devices.
