Peter!
When booting my computer having the HDSP Pcmcia card
inserted but no
multiface connected, something in the boot process times out and delays
the boot for 16seconds, posting
"Hammerfall DSP: No Digiface or Multiface connected" (obviously).
My question is, is this delay necessary? What is causing this delay and
why does the timeout happen after such a long time?
It is caused by a patch added by Tim IIRC to compensate new power
managment for Cardbus slots.
Don't get me wrong, everything works as it should,
but whenever I boot
into my machine I wonder (for about 16seconds) if there is a quicker way
of making the computer become aware of the fact that I don't have the
multiface connected.
Remove the patch or modify the timeout :)
