    I am mad that some think I am so STUPID that for 6 months I have used 
my memory stick with the old kernel, and stuck it in wrong when I first 
used the new kernel. Jeeze you IDIOTS! Grow up.

    What I was going to do is explain what happened this morning. I got not 
the 44 but the 41 kernel when I tried to get the 44. I guess yum  could 
not find the 44 and did the best it could. So I rebooted to the 41 
kernel and sure enough it will not work with a USB device. But I tried a 
  memory stick that you plug into the proper slot and it worked perfect!

    So what I have is a cheap thing about the size of a floppy drive at the 
front panel which plugs into one of the two USB things on the mother 
board. It has 5 slots for various memeory sticks from camera and cell 
phone and other things. With this kernel (41) the 5 slots work but the 
one USB on this devise does not work.

    I am sure there is something not quite right with my computer. But for 
sure with the old kernel it DID WORK.

<joke on>
yum could not find the 44, sometimes I would like to find a "44", a 44 Magnum like the one Clint Eastwood uses and said "Go ahead make my day" to correct some issues with yum.  
<joke off>

Nonetheless, as mentioned in the threads.  The fix is to update udev to 
udev-113-8.fc7
which should be pushed into updates as Rahul has suggested.  We wait a little bit and put this issue behind us.  

I am wondering/intrigued about the kernel names from 
2.6.21-1-3194.fc7
2.6.21-1.3228.fc7
which are old names to the new ones
2.6.22.1-27.fc7
2.6.22.1-33.fc7 
Is there a place to read about the fedora kernel naming?  
 

Regards,

Antonio
