Switching between kernels is not supposed to require changes to user space utilities. Now you have to use modutils 2.3 on 2.2 kernels and modutils 2.4 on 2.4 kernels, that will really annoy people flipping from one kernel to the other. If somebody would tell me about these things then I could fix them! I even asked about 2.2 support for USB earlier in the week and got no replies. Where is the 2.2 backport for USB? _______________________________________________ Linux-hotplug-devel mailing list http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net Linux-hotplug-devel@lists.sourceforge.net http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-hotplug-devel
