As the lead developer of an embedded architecture, I find that many people here do not take that attitude. More the problem is that many embedded folk aren't here to air their *technical* arguments because they can't keep up with the lkml traffic level. Consequently, lkml folk don't get the feedback from embedded folk, and hence probably why udev doesn't/didn't work with ash. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of: 2.6 Serial core
