Ick, why? udev is _very_ tightly tied to the distro boot process, I would not recommend you do this at all. If you really want a new kernel and the latest udev, use Fedora instead. > From my understanding, after reboot, the udev db > directory should be created as follows - > /dev/.udev.tdb , but however, what ends up happenning > is that a file called /dev/.udev.tdb is created. There is no .tdb file for the later versions of udev. If you have udev specific questions, please ask them on the linux-hotplug-devel mailing list. good luck, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
