[gentoo-dev] handling of usb in init scripts

[scott worley]

Hi,

Running rc6-r12.  I'm no init expert but it appears the localmount 
script assumes usbcore support is compiled, not modularized.  I rebuilt 
the kernel will all usb as modules so /proc/bus/usb does not exist until 
the usbcore module is loaded, therefore mounting of usbdevfs fails.  I 
can change localmount to load usbcore but in the general case the script 
needs to detect whether usbcore is modularized or not so no error is 
generated by trying to load a module which doesn't exist.  Should this 
be done in localmount or in the script which mounts the root filesystem r/w?

thanks,
scott worley
