However, the code is still= =20 there (for now). > How do I use the good old devfs with the 2.6.14+ kernels?! Where are the > freakin' settings? What do I need to change/fix to get it to work again. They are commented out. Just grep your kernel source tree for "CONFIG_DEVFS= "=20 and comment them in again. However, sooner or later the devfs code will be removed from the kernel,=20 maybe already in 2.6.15 or .16. If you tell us more details about your=20 problems with udev, people here on the list will try to help you sort them= =20 out. Bye...
