So without it, udev was=20 running OK, but for some reason it wouldn't add devices to /udev.=20 Basically adding an entry under /dev which corresponds to a device on=20 which the root filesystem is mounted fixed the problem. So for all of=20 you out there BEWARE!!! Cheers guys, udev works now! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
