Time for me to move on.

So much drama. You were disrespectful and sarcastic to our maintainer.
I am very thankful for Pat's efforts. We are lucky that Pat has a dedicated development team.
Slackware 14.2 is going to be another stellar release; I am looking forward to it.

Sounds like someone should be running current or Arch etc...All of the stable distros take 2+ years for beta then RC etc....Also, have some consideration for the major changes that Linux had thrown on it and I am sure PV is working on avoiding if possible. That will take extra time as well.

PV, never mind the haters, you just keep doing what you are doing.

Well said. While having a new, shiny release is always nice, as far as I'm concerned I would be perfectly comfortable even if the release Patrick has in mind would need, say, another year in order to be ready. I can understand that some people can feel impatient about it, but hey, let's relax and try to do what we can (even if it's not much) to support the maintainer himself and the team. I guess that even having a peaceful ambiance here at LQ/Slackware might be of some help.

Phillip, thats what makes LQ great. Well, I have to admit sometimes I do enjoy the times its not so peaceful here as well.

dugan, maybe not, it might be his blue screen of death. Oh thats it, maybe they can use Windows. Ok, i'm done now. lol.

What are you? A communist?
Should there be a five year plan? Like they had/have in communist economies?
That's not the way to good productivity.
Next thing, we'll be playing yoga tunes and burning incense.
A little bit of "nudging" and a little bit of stress is very good for productivity and getting people to finish their tasks.
Isn't even Debian stable on a 2 year release cycle now, last time I heard? (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Until the stress causes them to burn out or have a heart attack or other stress related health issues, at which point your productivity goes right down the toilet!

I just want say, I started testing the latest in KVM last night, seeing as how its now gone beta :-). Clean install. I like to test a few applications I must have build correctly and run before I upgrade my host.

Can't wait to order the release in the Slackware store! @Volkerdi and Slackware team - Thanks for all the hard work, and dedication to a solid distribution!

Hasn't gone beta yet...

The silliest post I have ever read.

If we are not lucky, he will surpass himself.

I do 5 year plans. It's called build a PC that'll last 5 years at least planned well. Hah!

Reaper...you as well, i even have a few 10 year plan PC's.

What about all of those companies that do long term planning...guess they are all commies as well. Time to watch the original Red Dawn I guess.

Let's...get back on track.

Has anyone had any success with a custom generated initrd (regardless of custom or stock kernel)?

I'm glad I kept the old initrd's that I created since they come with the old udev stuff.

However, I am having having some time delay issues with an initrd generated with the eudev stuff.

First, a message (within in the initrd) like this appears:
Then, once I'm past the initrd:

About a minute goes by according to the kernel time info. (58 seconds on my last reboot) before I then see:

Then some more time before LVM starts up along with the rest of the system.

I bring this up because it takes an oddly long time.

The old initrd with the old udev just seem to zoom right through.
