In our local development branch we've set

 PREFERRED_VERSION_udev =3D "141"

in angstrom-2008-preferred-versions.inc to force udev-141 for our old ker=
nel (2.6.24) at hipox machine. But i'm nearly sure that's not the correct=
 way to do this. ;-)

So what's the right way to handle this?

Looking around i found the udev-compat141_141.bb recipe. In my understand=
ing this package adds some rules to newer udev packages (e.g. udev-151) t=
o be able to work with older kernels, so that it is possible to use newer=
 udev versions. Right?

In this case it should be enough to add some lines to conf/machine/hipox.=
conf, recipes/udev/udev.inc, recipes/udev/udev_{151,154,162,165}.bb simil=
ar to poodle machine. Right?

Steffen
