I couldn't find a newer rpm for this distribution, so I cannot replace the current udev rpm. I've downloaded the latest udev sources from http://www.us.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/ and installed it but I still get the same errors. after you get a recent enough udev you probably need to recreate a new initrd (and pray that you don't need a newer mkinitrd to match the newer udev...) since udev is also put inside the initrd. To be fair, enterprise linux distributions aren't actually designed to run brand spanking new kernels, and the vendors aren't likely to update userland tools to make newer kernels work either (unlike, say, distributions like Fedora Core or SuSE or .. or .. or .. ) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
