quappahello. is there a way to know if I upstart is ok after upgrade to Edgy? I don't see any change in startup time. People on forums say it's dramatic.12:50
quappas/if I/if/12:50
_ionIn edgy, upstart just launches the same old sysvrc scripts. It doesn't affect startup time until the whole bootup process is migrated to upstart jobs (that's going to happen in feisty). Edgy has other changes that may decrease startup time, though.12:51
quappaoh. thanks.12:52
quappaprobably those other changes didn't affect my setup.12:53

KeybukMd: moving the decision about which devices get bound to which drivers to userspace11:40
Keybukso udev is responsible for it11:41
Mdhow?11:42
Keybukfirst, with .20 and a couple of patches, ensure that drivers are first class sysfs objects with uevents, etc.11:44
Keybukthen modify the module information so that a module announces which drivers it contains, and maps modaliases to driver names instead of module names11:44
Keybukalias pci:blahblah pci:drivername11:44
Keybukalias pci:drivername modulename11:44
Mdbut is this needed for every driver?11:45
Keybukfinally merge modprobe into udev (using kay's patch) so we can lookup this in udev11:45
KeybukI think that the first two are very useful for every driver11:45
Keybukthe third bit is also useful, because you can use udev to force a bind or unbind11:45
Keybukas to which drivers we make the decision for, I don't think it makes much difference; we could leave the easy decisions up to the kernel, and just do the hard ones in userspace11:46
Keybukbut I don't think there's any drawback to doing it all in userspace11:46
Mdperformance?11:46
KeybukI don't think that the bind between a device and driver is ms critical?11:46
Mdno, but when you load 30 drivers at boot time maybe it starts to be noticeable11:47
Keybukudev is going to get called out anyway for those 30 devices11:47
