As for the rpm ordering this was preserved from an earlier version. If there
is a more appropriate place to run the late configuration scripts, let's move
it. I think that it's likely a good place to move it to soon after the
filesystem has been mounted RW. Do any of the scripts normally require
networking or other system resources?
Hard to say what's perfect, but I certainly don't believe that they need
to be put off to the very last. In any case, I think the best thing is
to make it easily adjustable, per my patch.
Can we please keep this discussion on the Poky list where it started?
It seems that OE (and maybe OE-core) handle this differently - I've not
looked in depth - and I'm mostly interested in getting my Poky builds
healthy.

I have a Poky image which uses a number of kernel modules. For
whatever reason, the raw image has not had the modules configured
(no /lib/modules/.../modules.dep) This file is created by 'update-modules'
but that is run too late in the boot process. The problem is that
other code, e.g. I'm using iptables via modules, requires the modules
be configured early and this fails. If I reboot (after 'update-modules'
has run), everything is fine.
Sound like you need http://patches.openembedded.org/patch/1917/
To be honest that sounds like a more fundamental problem as if the user
cares which rtc should be rtc0, there are other ordering constraints
being imposed such as a symlink to the "best" rtc device...
Indeed, this patch did not help my situation at all.
I think my problem is that of post-install package scripts (hence
'Configuring ...') not being run until quite late.
Looking at the pre-run image, I see that there is /etc/rcS.d/S98configure
which runs these scripts. Is there any reason I can't move it earlier?
Found it:
ipk systems - meta/recipes-devtools/opkg/opkg_0.1.8.bb
rpm systems - meta/classes/rootfs_rpm.bbclass
Note: the ipk version is quasi-configurable, the rpm version hardwired at 98.
Since these are package install scripts, which presumable could have been run
at image creation time but needed to run on the target hardware, why put it
off to so late? I would think that this should be done _first_, not _last_
