Yes, but why? It worked before, it should work now...
Certainly, I either forgot to add something in the config (which I meant
to avoid by using "make oldconfig") or the kernel code has been altered
quite a bit. Either way, I don't get it.
I wonder if anyone has attempted to install the latest udev in a kernel
2.6.12 or later but is using it in an older version?
Best regards,
André
