| |
Hi,
When updating only the kernel to 2.6.18-rc3 on Ubuntu Dapper/x86, /dev/usblp0 is no more created on boot. If I manually create it, it works fine.
Vanilla udev from Dapper: version 079 (Documentation/Changes requires udev 071 ;-) ).
git-bisect told me the culprit was http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=bd00949647ddcea47ce4ea8bb2cfcfc98ebf9f2a
Reverting only this commit makes an Oopsing kernel.
This patch was next to last in its serie: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-usb-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg44538.html
Reverting the last patch in the serie (as well as the culprit found by git bisect): http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=43104f1da88f5335e9a45695df92a735ad550dda fixes the problem.
Updating udev to 096, and using a normal 2.6.18-rc3 kernel works too, so maybe the correct (albeit unpopular) fix is to update the udev requirement in Documentation/Changes?
Thanks.
