I also have a Slackware 10 machine here on which I was trying to get 2.6.12 working. I was noticing odd things changing when I switched between the default (2.4.26) kernel and 2.6.12. 'less' wouldn't work, my /dev/sd* devices weren't there so I couldn't mount my external hard disk or cdrom drive, and there was that hang at boot time. I've since downloaded a new udev and installed it and all above problems are resolved. I did have to do a 'pkgremove udev", though, to get the /dev/ devices back. (Except that I did it through pkgtool so 'udev' might not be the right name to give to pkgremove.) I had even checked the Documentation/Changes file to see if Slackware 10 came with some outdated package, and udev wasn't mentioned. I'm not sure where else I should have looked for information like that, though. Anyway, just a heads-up to anyone else experiencing a breaking of 'less' and missing /dev files. -Andy
