I already took a look at earlier versions, the current one seems to work pretty well already. Good job, Marco! The first broken thing I noticed is that no nvidia nodes (for the proprietary driver) are created. Devfs (and probably also MAKEDEV) uses crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 0 2004-02-24 12:06 nvidia0 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 1 2004-02-24 12:06 nvidia1 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 2 2004-02-24 12:06 nvidia2 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 3 2004-02-24 12:06 nvidia3 crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 255 2004-02-24 12:06 nvidiactl This is not really your fault since the current nvidia module does not create entries in /sys. So this must be done manually. Of course I could do that myself, but since it may affect quite a lot of people, would it be possible to check for a loaded module 'nvidia' and create above devices in the udev package? The only problem with this is that /etc/modules is evaluated not until S20module-init-tools (thus, later than your S01udev); so where would be an appropriate place? Another problem is that plugging in my USB memory stick does not cause the creation of a device node in /udev (I changed the path to /udev to allow comparing against devfs in /dev), but an appropriate /dev/disc1/... is created in /dev (with devfs). I have the hotplug package installed and my kernel is hotplug enabled. Do I something wrong here? Thanks for your work and for suggestions! Martin P.S.
