This is not a question of knowing the device names. It is a question of the kernel device not being initialized and ready when it is needed during boot. Having static entries in /dev/ would not help in any of the scenarios I described. The removal of the big kernel lock made the kernel less predictable, and is the source of these issues. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
