I hope it is not another limitation for the early userspace? :) I worked with systems where init made everything. Not showing that as an example of particulary good design, but still there may be situations when userspace code does something, which kernel is not ready for. And it is a kernel problem that it is not ready for some usespace behaviour. Btw, modprobe can not print error message to the console, that's the rule ;) -- Evgeniy Polyakov -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
