Good idea, but as I updated udev yesterday on one of my Gentoo systems, in the usual after-update messages there was a line in red, telling me "You don't have CONFIG_DEVTMPFS enabled. udev will not start." So it's not really a surprise, is it? Hence, I built a new kernel *before* rebooting :-) -Matt
