Hello,

Exactly. So we have keyboard control as soon as possible - this deadlock when the kernel asks for a root device needs to be dealt with.

It would be enough to postpone configuration of any removable storage until all the built-in stuff is done - not easy to do, we'd need to run autoconfig twice. But then it would be easy to add some option to move any driver into the 2nd run and this way enforce some kind of load order. Could be useful for other things as well, like console drivers - we'd move the generic driver ( like macppc's ofb ) into the 2nd run to make sure it's probed after all other possible matches.

have fun
Michael
