In tomorrow's rawhide should be kudzu-1.105-1 and initscripts-8.02-1. These implement various changes for speeding up bootup some: - removal of initlog and minilogd Basically, the things that were logged before syslog started were generally uninteresting, and it added a surprising amount of delay to the bootup. There should/will be a better mechanism for recording whether services start succesfully added at some point later. - hack to allow kudzu to read the devices from a socket from kmodule This allows hardware probing to be done only once; the specifics of where/how kudzu is run in this setup may be tweaked slightly - the initscript may be moved. kudzu also runs without interaction now, and just does the configuration of whatever it finds. The combination of these should speed up the boot a somewhat noticeable amount of time compared to stock FC3. Currently, there are the following issues: - text boot is now more noisy initlog did hide some spew from various services; this needs cleaned up. - things that try to call initlog will simply fail openssh and Canna should be fixed. Other things will need fixed. I suppose a initlog wrapper that accepts the same syntax and just 'execs' may be useful, but it's probably best to do a clean break and see what happens. Bill
