Description Scott James Remnant 2009-08-14 08:05:47 UTC

In devkit-disks.rules, the line:

KERNEL=="mtd*|nbd*|gnbd*|btibm*", GOTO="probe_parttable_end"

should be

KERNEL=="fd*|mtd*|nbd*|gnbd*|btibm*", GOTO="probe_parttable_end"


Plain old PC Floppy drives cannot have partition tables, and do not do presence detection; probing them can take minutes, delaying boot.  PC Floppy drives (distinct from USB, etc.) cannot have partition tables.

Nice catch, I forgot about that. Fixed here
