FWIW, I just remove udev and revert to static /dev because I did not get udev to create /dev/fd0 for me. It happen to both kernel version 2.6.12 and 2.6.14. I think older version of udev (before 0.70?) have no such problem. Regards, ST -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
