Hello, often, I have timing-problems with udev. This means that when booting from special devices (USB-Stick, CD, ISO-Image) some of the nodes in /dev are created when booting the one time, but are not created when booting the other time. For example, on the same machine, when booting from hard disk, the device nodes for the sound hardware (e.g. /dev/dsp) are always created, but when booting from an USB-Stick, sometimes they are not. Or when I create an image for a bootable CD, burn the image on CD and boot from the CD, /dev/cdrom is mounted correctly as my root filesystem, but when I use the ISO-Image to boot a virtual machine, /dev/cdrom cannot be mounted because the link from /dev/cdrom to the real device node in /dev does not exist. In both cases, on the real machine and on the virtual machine, the CD-Device is connected as master to the secondary IDE-Port. What can I do to avoid these timing problems?
