udev problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

Our drivers used to work fine with the older kernels. I am currently running 2.6.17 on fedora core 5 and all the /dev entries (related to the card) vanish after reboot. I understand that udev should dynamically be able to create the device nodes upon the installation of the driver. I read everything possible about the differences between devfs and udev. udev, by document description, should automatically create device nodes, but it doesn't. Is there a workaround? I do have mkdev program that creates the device nodes. But that needs to be executed everytime there's a reboot. I do not even want to keep a script that runs during the boot. I would like to modify our driver code so that it works on all the newer sources without having to fiddle around with it.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

Dinesh
