driver loading sequence

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I have driver A,B and C. A depends on B and B depends on C. So
obviously I will load C first and then B and then A. When C is ready,
it will set an event using SetEvent function to tell B, so does B. B
will wait C's event in init to finish its initialization. So does A.

But I found that waiting an event calling WaitforSingleOject isn't a
good idea in the init function. this will slow down the whole system's
booting up.

any good approach to this issue?

thanks,

Mike
