Udev on Sid requires 2.6.12 or newer kernels. I have 2.6.11 and 2.6.14 (which

want to get rid of 2.6.11 (which uses devfs and current hotplug). Can udev be
installed anyway? Consequences?

And I'm using udev on this box. Not that I like it, not that I give a
tinker's damn about demonstrating how big my d*ck is by how empty I can
make /dev (and that emptiness has meant I've had to write rules for every
symlink I ever had in there)... I just wanted persistent naming for four
external USB hard disk enclosures.
And I more or less had to use udev to do it. That's unfortunate. I *so*
wish md would actually follow through on his claims and demonstrate how to
use udev with a static /dev.
Oh, and that's a self-built 2.6.14.2... FWIW the last thing I'd ever do is
use a Debian kernel.
