recommend to replace a distro's udev installation with the upstream version.
Requirements:
- - Version 2.6.19 of the Linux kernel for reliable operation of this release of
- udev. The kernel may have a requirement on udev too, see Documentation/Changes
- in the kernel source tree for the actual dependency.
+ - Version 2.6.20 of the Linux kernel for reliable operation of this release of
+ udev. The kernel must not use the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED* option.
- The kernel must have sysfs, unix domain sockets and networking enabled.
- (unix domain sockets (CONFIG_UNIX) as a loadable kernel module may work,
- but it does not make any sense - don't complain if anything goes wrong.)
+ Unix domain sockets (CONFIG_UNIX) as a loadable kernel module is not
+ supported.
- The proc filesystem must be mounted on /proc/, the sysfs filesystem must
be mounted at /sys/. No other locations are supported by udev.
