Hm, you mean Red Hat is shipping something that Debian thinks isn't stable enough?

I just booted my laptop that runs Fedora and a stock 2.6.3-rc4 kernel using udev to manage /dev. Gentoo is also able to do this just fine. I'll clean up my scripts that I used to do this and post how to do this with the next release for others who also want to do this. So it is possible. > Anyway, I'd prefer if you did not ship this init script with udev, > there is no point in doing this and it will always lag behind the > official one. Well, I'll leave it alone for now, is that ok? thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
