Subject: [gentoo-user] genkernel: pre load a module
Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 17:34:03

1 Hello list,
2
3 since Linux kernel 2.6.19 libata changes, my boot time has increased at least
4 15 seconds. This is caused by ata_piix which tries unsuccessfully to
5 interrogate my DVD drive.
6
7 I believe that if I load piix first (the PATA driver for Intel chipset) I will
8 not get this delay.
9
10 So the question is: is there any way to tell genkernel to preload a module
11 other than a "build-it-in-kernel"?
12
13 Many thanks in advance,
14 Norberto
