It's not specifically related to FC3. It's udev - we've broken _any_ distribution which uses a two-year-old udev. In fact we're proposing breaking any distro which has an older-than-ten-month udev. That's really bad.
It's worse on FC3 because there is, as far as I can tell, no rpm or srpm which can be used to unbreak it. And pointing at Documentation/Changes doesn't alter that, does it?
Personally, there's no way I'm upgrading this box because I _want_ to run old distros to catch things like this. So I'll hack it around to work somehow. I can do that, because I'm a developer.
Are we going to stop doing this soon? - 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/
