First off, linux-kernel is probably not the place to be asking this. You should try this on the linux-hotplug-devel list and at least cc: the author of udev.

Try mounting it at /sys instead, that's the "recommended" place for it, but udev should still be able to figure out where it is. > I built udev-0.2, and put udev in /sbin/udev > > I put /sbin/udev into /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug (replacing /bin/true) with > > echo /sbin/udev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug > > doing a cat /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug shows that it is there. > > I have then plugged and unplugged a USB device and /udev does not appear. > So I did a 'mkdir /udev'. > Plug and unplug again. > > Still nothing. > > So, what am I missing??? The fact that the config files are hardcoded to be looked for at /home/greg/src/udev/ and you probably do not have that path on your system? :) > [[ there are numerous messages in the /var/log/messages for each plug/unplug > of the USB device ]] Are they from udev? What do they say? Any errors? Yes, I need to write a better install script and instructions, sorry. It's on my list of things to do... thanks, greg k-h
