how long to wait after hotplug has been started?

Hi folks,

I've added diethotplug and the startup scripts for pci and usb to an initrd image. At boot time the hotplug events are synthesized as usual. But since each call to /sbin/hotplug can trigger new hotplug events the execution becomes asynchronous. Some controllers (e.g. SCSI) take a _very_ long time for initialization. There is a high chance that the boot procedure continues while hotplug is still busy mounting modules.

What is your suggestion how to handle this?

Regards

Harri
