halevt very slow to stop on reboot/shutdown

[anticapitalista]

Using latest 2.6.35 kernels and noticed that halevt is very slow to stop on reboot/shutdown. Boot is fine, desktop (well, fluxbox) works fine.
The problem is with halevt. When I remove it, reboot/shutdown is ok. However I need halevt to mount usb sticks.

This is only an issue on the 2.6.35 series kernel as 2.6.34 ones work just fine.

Anyone else get this problem?

after the latest halevt update i noticed that too, but on the 2.6.34-1.dmz.3-liquorix-686 kernel, i removed halevt as well.

You guys may want to report this to the developers of halevt since they should understand why halevt behaves this way on 2.6.35.

Just to post to say that this halevt problem has nothing to do with the .35 kernel.

hi

I don't use it but maybe slowness can be eliminated by going from system-wide config to user?
