I don't have any special devices, and a recent attempt to switch to udev
ended in going right back to devfs. I am running 2.6.8 and don't have
anything strange in my setup. It just didn't work. I was also unable to
find any decent documentation about making such a switch. Maybe it's just
been too long since I looked, but I am not really interested in spending
the time again unless I am certain it will work.
