Boot sequences are set up by symlinks in the per-run level directories: /etc/init.d/rcn.d where n corresponds to run level. on my laptop, in /etc/init.d/rc5.d: S08pcmcia is a symlink to ../pcmcia. The /etc/init.d/rc script will execute the scripts in order. First it executes the Kxx scripts, then the Sxx scripts: for i in rc5.d/S[0-9][0-9]*; do #Then it tests to determine if the script actually exits and is executable. test -x $i || continue The Snn script is then processed.

I need to change the boot sequence for SuSE8.0 on my laptop. It insists on trying to initialize eth0 before PCMCIA. Of course this fails. I can manually restart the network driver, and eth0 will work normally, but this is a bad solution.
So... this leads into my question. How do I change the boot sequence so that PCMCIA is initialized first, and then it searches for and turns on eth0?
Is there a good resource for info on the boot sequence? I haven't been able to find anything really helpful yet.
