I prepared old laptop for something else and tried live cd image out. It took some time to load and I was surprised how slowly it went. Laptop has 128 mb or ram and might be a bit old to compare. I removed hdd and dmesg has shown nothing special. Once booted, it often touched cd drive. I didn't pay attention to ctl device. What could happen if it is moved from kernel?
