error in /var/log/messages

[John Luke]

Hello,
When trying to troubleshoot something I noticed this message repeated
in /var/log/messages:

Oct 17 20:46:46 localhost wait_for_sysfs[3891]: either wait_for_sysfs
(udev 038) needs an update to handle the device '/class/vc/vcsa6'
properly (3) or the sysfs-support of your device's driver needs to be
fixed, please report to <linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net>

I assume you will want more info than that though, let me know what you need.

Thanks

It is caused by the fact, that the vc devices are creating events for every
open() and close(), as this seems to happen multiple times on bootup for every
device, it sometimes just disappeares before we can wait for it. This if hopefully
fixed with the next version.

Thanks,
Kay
