It was 'sleep <secs>' and was meant to go just before the line starting 'ebegin' in /etc/init.d/checkfs which is no longer used in favo(u)r of /etc/init.d/fsck. So maybe SD support is extraneous. If I feel adventurous, next kernel compile time, I'll remove the support and see if it's really needed. mw
