On the first install of FC5, when I eventually got X to start, the bootup showed selinux started, then udev tried to start, but failed, also saying it would continue to try in the background. I disabled selinux, as I don't feel that I need it, and at the next reboot udev started with no problems. On that install I now have planetccrma stuff, music apps, etc. I thought it best to try a fresh install to see if /dev/dsp was there with these udev problems on bootup. Some time later (4 am) , with the same udev failure showing on the fresh install, I got logged into KDE. Opened up /dev , and there is dsp giving me the finger, so it does not appear to be a problem caused by selinux, and udev showing a fail on bootup. I have never done an upgrade over an existing install, but have read that there can be problems. Nigel.
