vis-a-vis (among other things):

I've been playing with various kernel configurations, and I'm almost
positive that this only occurs when floppy.c is compiled as a module. On
my primary pc, the kswapd message invades the partition check, as above.
On my other computer, which needs the (slow to find the cdrom and load)
sbpcd driver, the kswapd message invades the sbpcd messages, but again,
only if floppy.c is compiled as a module. When floppy support is compiled
into the kernel, it slows down the boot just enough to keep the kswapd
message from invading something else (apparently, this is usually the
partition check on a machine with an IDE/ATAPI cdrom).
I don't know if this info is useful, but I thought I'd throw it in for
free. :) :) :)
