In the same way that the kernel modules are responsible for creating all the motherboard resources that load at boot before udev comes into the picture. So that's why I'm feeling that the problem is with your kernel, not udev per se. Although maybe coldplug wouldn't hurt to have in rc-update. > > -modprobe agpgart will result in an error What is the error? Module doesn't exist? Module is already loaded?

The kernel configuration for it is Device Drivers==> Character devices. HTH, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
