It was a major change incorporating this and I doubt our beloved kernel maintainers would be quick to change back. If you have personal experiences, use devfs=nomount at boot prompt (append to lilo or put in grub to make it default 0x0). Besides, I just went back to using it today after long long hiatas :). Yes, it can be a bother, but it would look _so_ M$-ish to put it in for 8.1 and back out for 8.2 (sorry, been dealing with having to support upgrading winusers here). Regards.
