>the possibility that the acpiphp driver may enter it's >module_init before the dock driver has completed it's init? Would there be a problem if the init for acpiphp ran before the init for dock started? (no, I don't think that use of acpi_walk_namespace would/could have any effect on the order) I don't know if we have tight controls on module load order. IIR it depends on the link order in the makefiles for static modules, and the init scripts for loadable modules. -Len - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
