That what is enough?

Sorry, I don't follow, what does lilo and grub have to do with waiting in the initramfs for the root blockdev to appear? Was that a reference to bug 409820? > all the other distribution add some bandaid aka stupid sleep > for the case of usb, .. > and for a quick glance over those initramfs generators > this would be done on mkinitramfs time. > right? Yes, initramfs-based fixed sleep for a couple of seconds (which may still break in some scenarios) or a hardcoded root device (which allows the initramfs script to wait until that root device node appears) are the two solution I've seen from a quick survey. I still think a user-configurable sleep (and/or a user configurable device node to wait for) would be the best option at this point followed by a more complete solution later. > sorry, really busy on a physics workshop so no code right now. > but happy about your ping!
