Hi!

Would that qualify as a reason to put it there and have make-kpkg / make=20
deb / make rpm spit out a udev package as well?

shambhala:/var/log> grep -i deprecated syslog | grep udev
Oct 25 09:41:22 shambhala udevd[21078]: udev: missing sysfs features;=20
please update the kernel or disable the kernel's CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=20
option; udev may fail to work correctly                                    =
                       =20
Oct 25 09:41:37 shambhala kernel: <3>udev: missing sysfs features; please=20

It seems that nothing critical is not working, but I only found this by=20
closely watching the boot process at all.

Granted, for a long time I did not see any udev/kernel version mismatch or=
=20
configuration option mismatch issues, but back in udev early days I were=20
hit several times by those annoyances.

Ironically I was about to disable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED when it was=20
introduced, but then HAL didn't work.

There should be an easy way to figure out whether kernel and deeply related=
=20
userspace tools are matching each other.

Ciao,
=2D-=20
