That needs to be there. If that doesn't happen, something is wrong. Make sure you aren't booting with a command line that disables udev, or enables devfs. Also make sure you don't have devfs in your kernel at all. > But there's a udevd running.

The kernel does this on it's own in the boot process. thanks, greg k-h ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
