Alexander, I'd prefer you refrain from berating the LFS project on a non-LFS list (obviously I'd rather you don't berate the project at all, but at least if you're going to do it, do it where the LFS community can be reasonably expected to see and comment on it). Secondly, as with any open source project, it's a *voluntary* effort. I've already made some efforts to outline the general direction I want to see LFS head with regards to device and module handling. The fact that I don't understand all (perhaps any?) of how this stuff works is completely excusable - the current documentation for hotplugless setup is non-existent as far as I can tell. It relies on searching mailing list archives and such like, and doing so is fraught with the difficulties of stumbling across out of date or otherwise inaccurate information. However, as you obviously have all the requisite knowledge about this, how about *you* document it, submit that as a patch to the udev project, then LFS (and other distros too) can act based on the information it provides? If the documentation could provide examples of both an initrd and initrd-less configuration (if that is in fact possible, bugs notwithstanding), that'd be great.
