udev events?

Trying fasten up my boot time.

I noticed that something called "udev events" takes about 20 seconds to load, by father the longest part of my boot process.

Can anyone tell me what this is and what it is doing?

Is this what now loads all my modules?  I have no modules set in the modules array of rc.conf.  If so can I stop it and just load the modules I need?

Re: udev events?

You can easilly set "MOD_AUTOLOAD" to off and specify only the modules you want at boot time via the MODULES array.  And to answer your question, yes, the "udev uevents" is what is auto-detecting your hardware and loading the proper modules.

Re: udev events?

Thanks phrakture.

So where do I find Mod-autoload?

If I turn it off, does this then stop udev events?

Does udev events then now function the way hotplug used to?

Does anything I do here have any affect on hal which I am loading as a daemon?

I used to use wombat, but the boot process seems to have changed quite a bit with gimmick. Just trying to get my head around the new processes.
