I currently run a system with Greg's patches + udev, and all the devices are generated via udev and a modified version of Robert's initscript (running much earlier), with only alsa's nodes generated via another script as it is not sysfs-ified yet. So basically the initramfs idea is fully plausible if initramfs will get there (or I get time to have a look).=20 --=20 Martin Schlemmer --=-OSVDzoNNY8IzRoNKdEYz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQA/6z1nqburzKaJYLYRAvLKAJ9QHk7i24Ma0BQz/spZ6KdCvY28CwCfXuWh hqyxZJjHkJYeLaUnrlXkmI4= =tum/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-OSVDzoNNY8IzRoNKdEYz--
