Mates,

    First post and I am having heck building the vanilla 2.6.20.7 kernel on 
Suse 10.0. Basically I put 2.6.20.7 in /usr/src, then I did

cd linux
(read Documentation/Changes "Current Minimal Requirements")
zcat /proc/config.gz > .config
make oldconfig
make
make modules
make modules_install
make install.
edit grub to boot from new and old kernels.

    All current minimal requierments are met *except* udev which is version 
068. Everything compiled and installed properly and initrd did what it was 
supposed to:

The 2.6.20.7 kernel boots just fine and all services are started *except* 
keyboard, mouse and network. Is this udev??? If so, can I safely update udev 
without destroying my 2.6.13-15.15 setup?? Can it be anything else?? Any 
help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
