At this point I don't intend to touch HEAD. I still would like to
see the original problem fixed and I'm guessing that the original
change is on the right pathway to fixing it. Just a little more
care or something?
Colin/Poul-Henning, do you mind checking into why the call to
g_waitidle() seems to cause problems using an md device as a root
filesystem during install?
Thanks...
