Something's really broken with that version of udev then, because the 094 version I have running here works just fine with these symlinks. > In order to get back the device files, I have to run the following > command: > # for f in /sys/class/mem/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $f; done Ah, ok, it sounds like it's not a bug in udev itself, but rather a bug in the way your distro does it's initialization of udev, at boot. I suggest you file a bug with them, as they are known for doing this a bit differently than any other distro (and different from how the udev developers recommend), so they can fix it. It's probably just a shell script issue. thanks, greg k-h - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
