Re: problem with starting 2.5.25-rc1 and latest git

Hello,

I tried 2.6.25-rc1 and latest git on my laptop (x86 32bit) and have a problem.
Linux boots but with huge delay due to some issue with loading usb modules.
Udev complains:

'Could not lock modprobe uhci_hcd'
'Could not lock modprobe yenta_socket'
'Unknown symbol usb_*'
'Gave up waiting for init of module usbcore'

at the same time I can see these messages in syslog (look at timing - grep by usb):

Feb 13 21:34:22 laptop kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver usbfs
Feb 13 21:34:22 laptop kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver hub
Feb 13 21:34:22 laptop kernel: usbcore: registered new device driver usb
Feb 13 21:34:22 laptop kernel: ehci_hcd: gave up waiting for init of module usbcore.

I don't see how this is a usb issue, it looks to be a module loading
issue, which is in the module core and module-init-tools.

Well ... that was just a guess.

What version of module-init-tools do you have, and are you using an
initramfs that loads these modules? If so, what distro and version are
you using?

I'm using gentoo. No initramfs. The same configuration under 2.6.24 boots without
delays.

module-init-tools: 3.4
udev: 115 (gentoo says 115-r1)

this is my grub.conf entry (on 2.6.24 I have identical boot parameters):
