Your guess is as good as mine! |

At present, the first thing I see when udev starts is a failed attempt |
| 18 |
to run /usr/sbin/alsactl to restore the audio levels on my sound card. |
| 19 |
This occurs before localmount or any other services in the sysinit |
| 20 |
run-level have been started. Just why anybody wants sound before the |
| 21 |
disk volumes have been mounted baffles me; I guess people are just |
| 22 |
desperate for the comforts of stereo. Perhaps my mind simply lacks the |
| 23 |
sophistication to understand the design of udev. |

I guess I'll just stick to my 80-column Hollerith cards. ... :-) |
