Actually it's a good idea, but in this case I am trying to support quite |
| 19 |
a few devices and I moved a bunch of them into modules because it seemed |
| 20 |
to be slowing down my boot times by quite a bit (mainly all the serial |
| 21 |
to usb adaptors). |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Basically I need to try and understand what I am missing because it's |
| 24 |
going to cause some subtle problems down the line when I try to do some |
| 25 |
more advanced udev rules |
| 26 |
|

Grateful for any tips? |

Currently I'm wondering if it's some unsupported command line being |
| 30 |
passed to modprobe? I see some old emails about this, but it's curious |
| 31 |
that I don't see any errors here, syslog/dmesg shows no errors either? |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I think I'm missing something simple... |

Thanks |
