Also, there is a bug current udev (024) where the udev rule parser will stop at the first rule with NAME, so you have to make sure your rules comes up before the rule with the NAME statement (although, this might have been fixed in the debian version of udev... I really should convert over one of these days). -- John L.

It's only a problem if you named your kernel version "basil."

upgrade to 2.6.5 problem
I recently upgraded from kernel 2.4.25 to kernel 2.6.5 (im using unstable) - the upgrade went OK but now i have two problems: 1. the nvidia graphics module isnt loaded on startup (i have to do insmod /lib/modules/2.6.5-1-k7/nvidia/nvidia.ko before i can enter the xserver) 2. permission are mucked up, for both oss (/dev/dsp,/dev/mixer) alsa (/dev/snd/*), and nvidia stuff (/dev/nv*), when i change anything in /dev (creating a folder, changing permissions) the changes revert on reboot Keir Lawson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
