i tend to agree with Alasdair on the above point
I seem to recall even RedHat or Fedora attempted to add these devices,
but I suppose you know best. The reasons why these were added in udev
in Debian and Ubuntu are mentionned in http://bugs.debian.org/392623,
but in short gnome-mount required this to work; perhaps this should be
fixed in gnome-mount. The details are in a comment of #401393 though:
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=401393;msg=37>
I also looked at the patch to support LUKS into hal and i tought it was
badly written (forgot the gory details)
(attaching the patch I mentionned in the preceding mail but forgot,
sorry)
in any case i lost the argument, so i think that i will use your patch,
at least until grub2 gets support for the eye-candy gfxboot, then i hope
to toss lilo into oblivion.
Thanks for providing the patch,
L.
