I'm not quite sure what udev does with these errors, but it doesn't report a syntax error, and finding the mistake can take longer than it should... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7snowball Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages udev depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.29 Debian configuration management sy ii hotplug 0.0.20040329-11 Linux Hotplug Scripts ii initscripts 2.85-22 Standard scripts needed for bootin ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libnewt0.51 0.51.6-5 Not Erik's Windowing Toolkit - tex ii makedev 2.3.1-70 Creates device files in /dev -- debconf information: * udev/devfs-warning: * udev/reboot-warning: ----- End forwarded message ----- -- ciao, | Marco | [7974 scPL7EWZC1tNI] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: YOU BE THE JUDGE.
