I installed udev-058 and it fixed things. It took me more than hour to figure out, from 02:00 to after 03:00. Greg, any plans to distribute udev and hotplug within kernel tarballs so that people do not need to track such changes continuously? After all, udev is tied to /sys layout which changes with kernel and also udev is vital for properly functioning boot process (I mean: if udev breaks, you cannot easily debug it: your box is unusable since lots of things gone avry like gettys not having ttys to let you log in...). -- vda - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
