Hi, RE: Patrick's email: > Are you booting with an initrd? > If so there are instructions at http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/ Indeed, I am booting with initrd. At the last step of the kernel compile: make O=/myper/usr/src/build-2.6.15.6 modules_install install \ > ../build-2.6.15.6/make_install.LOG.3 2>&1 & This "make install" actually invokes depmod -ae ... and also [...]/linux-2.6.15.6/arch/x86_64/boot/install.sh And this install.sh in turn invokes /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --mkinitrd --depmod --install $KERNEL_VERSION which runs /sbin/mkinitrd --allow-missing -f /boot/initrd-2.6.15.6.img 2.6.15.6 So here we go, there is mkinitrd. I read the udev instructions, but still don't get the point. Isn't mkinitrd (-4.2.15-1) supposed to take care of all the udev business? In other words, which part of the instructions did you refer to? Cheers, Gaspar
