Subject: Kernel shouldn't wait for any key in case of error
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2001 17:26:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A5C8D2F.79D0A9A5@aixigo.de> (raw)
Hi folks,
I found that the kernel (checked on 2.2.16 and 2.2.17) contains at least
two calls to wait_for_keypress (in drivers/block/rd.c and fs/super.c).
This is very annoying if you're running a server farm that is located in
another building.
I'd propose a configuration option that allows a user to decide whether
the kernel is allowed to wait for "any key". Another solution would be
to provide a timeout.
Ciao,
Tobias Haustein
