My Lenovo X200 is very slow to boot now using 13.37 current 64 bit Slackware. It used to boot up in less than 30 sec, now it's over a minute. Booting hangs up with:
TPPS-2 IBM TrackPoint as /drivers/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/input/input11
Is this related to the udev-182 gripes in this forum?
I'm on a T61 and I don't have any udev gripes with the TrackPoint. Did you make additional configuration for your TrackPoint (e.g. via xinput, evdev, udev or sysfs?)
My R61i works great with latest -current updates. I'm using custom-built 3.4.6 kernel with tp_smapi patched in, which is used to configure trackpoint sensitivity and battery charge thresholds.
My trackpoint always worked OK, even before the latest 64 bit current update. it still works OK, but the laptop boots very slowly. No, I haven't made any config changes to any file. It's as is.
Yes the trackpoint showed up in between at around 16s. But when booting with older udev (which does not show this excessive delay), the trackpoint also shows up at around 16s.
