Who is one to say, "This is it"? I changed the numbering scheme because numbers really mean nothing more than a way to differ different versions of the program over time. > I tried udev 010 and it seems to me that _a lot of_ devices are _not_ > created by udev.

That's not a udev issue, it's a kernel issue. There are some patches in the -mm kernel tree that provide sysfs support for misc devices (like psaux), enabling udev to create those device nodes. ttyS0 should work just fine with a 2.6.0 kernel, please let me know if that is not true. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
