Re: Defect in XBD 3.386_System_Reboot

[yyyyyyyyyy@xxxxxxx]

One place where knowing the order can be crucial is in application setup programs that install generic drivers that depend on other drivers being loaded and initialized before them, so the setup program can be written to modify the appropriate scripts so the driver loads properly. I'd prefer to keep it as is.

Cheers,
