Hi, if i have 2 disk drivers both compiled into kernel how can make sure that
one driver gets started before the other?
Thanks

I think, there is no way.
Normally, you don't need two compiled in drivers. Have you though about making one as module and loading it at boottime? |

I did this already before i posted the question and it woks ok, but i was just wondering if there is
a non hacky way to do this, like some kernel argumets what can be passed.

I've also thought about changing the compile order in the makefile, but this is really ugly.
The solution proposed by feivelda is much better. |
