Ah good, scared me for a bit there :) > Documentation/changes at the tip as of tonight still says use "udev > version 071", which is what I have installed. Which should handle this just fine.

Actually 073 is now out :) Anyway, no, I do not think that it will be required for 2.6.15, unless something is found really wrong with 071 and that kernel. > If so, better warn folks at distro's like Debian unstable. 072 is already availble in unstable. > If not, what do I need to change so I can easily test post 2.6.14 > kernels --- and where was it documented that I needed a newer version > of udev? 071 should be fine, as documented.
