Alsa pb and autofs /removable/zip mounting is related: Autofs was already started (something like 'zip -fstype=vfat :/dev/hdc4' in auto.removable). When 'alsa start', then messages list a 'kernel: pci:' entry of my sound card and after this 'automount: attemp to mount /removable/zip'! Then it really tries to mount /dev/hdc4 which results in hanging of devfsd! The only way to avoid this is a zip disk present at boot time :-( supermount? tried it and it was not working. Maybe it was too late yesterday. And my aversion against supermount is too big (historically). > > > drive. Accidently at boot time it always tries to access zip drive when > > alsa is loading...
