There are more tools than just udev which fail to work on various kernel configurations and versions, though granted udev might be one of the most "deeply related" ones.

Maybe your real beef is with udev documentation which should give you info regarding what udev/kernel pairings should work? --Ben. -- 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/
