[Bug 373675] [NEW] boot-process slow down

[Rumpeltux]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

The vbox init script slows down the boot-process by more than 3 seconds.
This is due to a find being executed on the filesystem that causes heavy
disc io-waits.

The line for it is:
  if ! find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "vboxdrv\.*" 2>/dev/null|grep -q vboxdrv; the

which I replaced by the following to have a quicker boot-time:
  if ! [ -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms/vboxdrv.ko ]; then

Even if the location is not that static, a call to find should be avoided in order to not impair boot-times.
This also affects the virtualbox-2.0 package.
