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 P.S. will post this message two times in case the first one does not get through. Sorry if it is annoying but many people will be benefitted if we can solve this problem. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? All your favorites on one personal page ?
