Comment 33 for bug 430496

PS
 Shouldn't this at least be fully consistent ? I mean ok, you do not wait for non core filesystems, but you either do not wait with anything unless bootwait is specified, or you wait with everything ? Now tty's will not start while gdm will start.
One would rather expect tty's to start so that you can log on another console and resolve things, not the gdm to start.
Even more than that, i think that if such a filesystem (non core filesystem) will fail for some reason (for example it had a severe corruption ), then weird things will happen :
- first you WILL need at least a tty to log in and solve the problem
- you must not have gdm steal your display and keyboard
I think tty's should be one of the first things to load, and either way load before gdm (at least if the core file systems are ok).
Now, tty's will wait for any filesystem but gdm won't.
