uevent order fix
Dave, Please take a look at http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=2c7afd125cc482dbdf6b0a169c42337e7e76cda5 Can we include this simple patch in Fedora 7 and Rawhide please? Without this, events arrive in the wrong order meaning that udev and hal may get confused. Thanks.

The changelog comment doesn't really imply anything regarding ordering. Yea, I'm 100% positive - the problem is that uevents for struct class_device don't include the PHYSDEV* variables. This makes it impossible for udev to reorder the events, e.g. wait for the device that PHYSDEVPATH that the class device specifies. As a result you sometimes get to process the event for an input device *before* the physical device (e.g. USB interface) have been processed. SCSI generic devices are affected in a similar way. ok, kernel-2_6_21-1_3222_fc8 is building which should have it tomorrow. I've no objection to including it (as long as it doesn't have additional dependancies). Chuck? anyone else?
