Bug#401916: udev: Add support for the ROOTDELAY parameter
Package: udev
Version: 0.105-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
maks downgraded #401916 (and #366175) from RC severity with the
understanding that something like the attached patch would be applied
to the udev initramfs script before the release of Etch to allow people
with affected systems some kind of manual workaround at least.
I'm not setting the severity to R-C, but I'd like to know whether others
(maks, Marco, RM's) think this should go in?
