Description Manfred Schwarb 2006-02-14 21:18:55 UTC

At shutdown, /usr/bin/update_preload is called via 
/etc/init.d/boot.preload_early, this happens after issuing killall.
At killall time, my watchdog is killed, and therefore
60 seconds remain until the watchdog jumps in.
Well, my box is only a Pentium II, and these 60 seconds 
are not enough for the update_preload, and BANG ...

IMO, this update_reload should not be issued at shutdown,
it should be placed inside the start section of boot.preload_early

Thanks for correcting this,
Manfred

Well, I just see that in /etc/preload.d/boot
are things like /lib/modules/@KERNEL_VERSION@/

This seems bogus if you just have installed a new kernel,
therefore another reason to do update_preload at boot time
and not at shutdown time.

Please have a look at bug #117023 - there should be some changes in beta4.

I don't mark this as duplicate because I'm not sure about what you mentioned in comment #1 (your argument looks valid) - I guess someone from SUSE (Coolo?) has to comment on it.

but it is a dup
