Yes, it was always in /usr/somewhere. And the pci.ids file came from the pciutils package, not udev. But note, we are moving that file out of pciutils (and the usb.ids file out of usbutils) and they will eventually be generated from the udev package itself, as it holds the master hardware database. But that's a totally different topic than the one at hand, and is still being worked on by the developers of the different upstream packages. thanks, greg k-h
