Dear users of Fedora Core 3 and discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, I still have not figured out how to make Fedora load drives upon boot time with udev and other hacks attempted. In the /etc/init.d/ folder slmodemd is in there and all appropriate links are made. slamr is running in the background, yet when I start kppp modem is not recognized.

TTY is `/dev/pts/3' Use `/dev/ttySL0' as modem device, Ctrl+C for termination. Upon every boot, I have to retype slmodemd at the console so that I can connect to the net. I tried also copying a suggestion from another mail after I loaded slmodemd. [root@localhost ~]# cp -a /dev/ttySL0 /etc/udev/devices [root@localhost ~]# chown root.root /etc/udev/devices/ttySL0 This did not work. I probably need to create a definition for udev. But how do I do it? I have read some of the documentation of udev. But I am afraid of messing up the system. Before udev when devfs was in place, had no problems with loading slamr upon boot. Any suggestions and/or advice will be greatly appreciated. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year. Thanks in advance, Antonio __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
