udev, module-init-tools, 2.6.14
Hello. For a variety of reasons, I want to install a hand-compiled (and patched) 2.6.14 kernel. I have two questions concerning that. [1] At present, I have udev version 056 from stable, but the Changes file in the kernel documentation recommends at least udev 058. Testing and Unstable both have a much newer version of udev: 074. But when I try to install this version, apt wants to remove both the hotplug and module-init-tools packages. I gather that these later versions of udev are supposed to supplant hotplug. But surely module-init-tools should not be removed from the system? Can anyone shed any light on this? The changelog for udev includes: * Added conflicts with hotplug and with module-init-tools releases without support for /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/. Does this mean that there is no way at present to have both udev and module-init-tools installed simultaneously in testing/unstable? [2] In 2.6.14, pcmcia-cs is deprecated (though still supported) and the recommendation is to use pcmciautils instead. I know that there was an Intent-to-Package announcement for this last July, but I haven't been able to find an actual package anywhere. Does anyone know what the current status of this effort is?

I have been running my custom 2.6.14 kernel with udev 074 for a few weeks. This latest version of udev removes hotplug and you can also remove all references to hotplug in /etc/* But i did not have any conflict with module-init-tools. So you should not remove it. You could get around this by d/l the udev-074*.deb and using dpkg to install it and then purge hotplug. You can ask the udev developers about that ChangeLog on the list at linux.hotplug.devel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No, it just means you have not an acceptable module-init-tools installed. apt-cache show udev in unstable tells you that: Version: 0.074-3 Provides: hotplug Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.5-1), libselinux1 (= 1.26), libsepol1 (= 1.8), initscripts (= 2.85-16), makedev (= 2.3.1-77), sed (= 3.95), lsb-base (= 3.0-6) Conflicts: lvm-common ( 1.5.13), hotplug, module-init-tools ( 3.2-pre9-1) So get module-init-tools from unstable, and install it along with udev in the *same* dpkg -i line, or before you install udev 74. -- One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
