There were a couple of things it did not like along the way, to do with gpm & not finding /dev/psaux or something.
celery 1.9
1G ram
via chipset
onboard sound & nic.

Should I try as per the bear formula ?
]]>I'm not using udev but some useful info (including creating devices for usb) can be found in these two docs:
udev-faq
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/k … g/udev-FAQ
udev vs devfs
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/k … v_vs_devfs
Thanks very much for posting those, lanrat. I have remained ignorant about this whole devfs / udev issue, and in the dark about why many Archers have been pushing for udev. These docs were enlightening, and unlike other reading on this topic I had explored briefly before now, not completely over my head.
Being a "path of least resistance / if it ain't broke..." kind-of computer user (with relatively simple needs), I think I'll leave well enough alone for now. But at least I have a clue about why I might want to switch to udev down the road.
]]>Edit: Does this package contain the migrate to udev stuff?
The patches and the migrate-udev script.
If it does I can change the howto.
Edit2: I included the official package in the howto.
]]>My package is now depreciated.
]]>If I have installed udev with your ABS package, can I upgrade with arch official package?
I just syued and pacman wanted to upgrade udev. I didn't do it.
But now I saw that I'm missing all /dev/snd/ and /dev/sound/
hotplug still not working thith same stupid error "can't load module shpchp" but
$ ls -l /lib/modules/2.6.7/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp.ko
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 123424 Jun 16 17:08 /lib/modules/2.6.7/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp.ko
But when I try to insert an usb memorystick no devices are created in /dev
(I know that i must add rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules, i found some examples on google, but nothing works..
Tried to start hotplug but it complains
... can't load module shpchp
missing kernel or user mode driver shpchp
Trying modprobe :
$ modprobe shpchp
FATAL: Error inserting shpchp (/lib/modules/2.6.7/kernel/drivers/pci/hotplug/shpchp.ko): Operation not permitted
It's a stock ide kernel...Any ideas?
$ uname -a
Linux torindan 2.6.7 #1 SMP Wed Jun 16 07:04:51 PDT 2004 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux
Not sure if I left something out, a simple glitch, or what.
Also, the patch for rc.conf failed, had to do it manually.
Note that neither of these are complaints, just comments. As I wiped out /home on that I think I'll just do a fresh install, and put in udev before doing anything else.
EDITED an hour later
Did what I said I would, reinstalled, changed to udev right away, and everything is fine.
Great job Xentac.

]]>Yep, please update the udev wiki with your step by step process...
I should have noted somewhere that that bmp was snarffed from the forum and converted to bmp format. I asked the guy for permission to use it and he never got back to me, so I erm.... took that as a yes.
Sounds like mattux was talking about the permissions on nvidia device; fbidwell's solution is somewhat more elegant, if you include it in your howto, use that instead.
