So I assume HAL is what took over kudzu in the RHEL6 release. Snippet of info here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/NoMoreKudzu I don't really know if there's anywhere else its written down in more detail, so apologies for that. I have also been told that dracut had a hand in it but I don't have any concrete evidence as to that but I imagine it has to do with the quick pass off of to real rootfs and reliance on udev/HAL, more information on dracut can be found here ---> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut Hope this helps, -AdamM -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
