I my case accessing http://www.javatester.org/version.html will cause Firefox to crash. I'm using a Powermac G5 so I'll build the release candidate on a Powerbook G4 so see if the result differs.

Greetings, Angelo. > ___ Not a problem, Angelo. By the way, you may consider that as you are connecting your keyboard and mouse through the usb hub, the problem udev is complaining about may be related to the hub you are using. I suggest this because you recent comment regarding your keyboard/mouse suggests that YDL running on the PS3 recognized them when they were directly connected to the PS3. Unfortunately, not all USB hubs are designed well. I have used USB hubs from Belkin, Targus or even Gigaware within YDL across the years. The core problem for you however is that udev is complaining about something it doesn't like. The simplest solution is to connect directly to the PS3 and avoid that particular USB hub entirely. If you find that udev has no complaints, then you solved the problem and discovered that the USB hub was what it was complaining about. After trying this, try also updating your installation by using yum: #yum update I hope that udev finds happiness. :-D In other words, that udev stops complaining and things get back to a state which is workable for you.

[ydl-gen] Boot error: USB hub
Thank you very much Derick for your effort, but I used the same USB hub also previously, and udev didn't complain. Thus, it shouldn't be the reason why now it does. You haven't told me what this error message means.

Hi Angelo: udev is complaining that something is wrong with the devices (keyboard/mice) it is designed to oversee. The links I shared with you earlier are guides which you can use which you can refer to so that you can modify udev to your environment so that udev will not report that error/complaint. As others wrote the guide for modifying udev, I thought their experiences would be useful to you. It is true that their experience is on other computers and even other Linux distributions -- even so, the step by step details which they provide should work within YDL and could be useful for you to follow or at least consider examining the udev user commands which udev is following while at the same time being informed regarding how to change/modify those settings to meet your needs (in consideration of the hardware you are actually using). Again if you have unplugged the keyboard/mouse directly into the USB port into the PS3 and then plugged them back in while observing how udev behaved as it boot into YDL. Then you again tried the same procedure, this time connecting your keyboard/mouse into the USB hub observing how udev behaved as it boot into YDL, and after all that you found that udev was still complaining or reporting the same error, then you need to consider using the links I sent earlier as a guide. The references should be clear enough for you to decipher which command or user settings which need to be changed. Unfortunately, doing such things is part of the "normal" reality of utilizing any Linux distribution. There is always one more "thing" which doesn't quite work as well as one would like.

( ie /var/log/dmesg - should be there I think... the X one I can't remember...) Also, are you very sure its udev that's causing the problem? The default YDL boots to X you see. It might be coming from one of the startup scripts I think. xmodmap (the executable) is part of X which sets your keyboard map etc... I noticed you typed Xmodmap - and you referred to /etc/X11 - you possibly may be referring to the default config file which I think X parses as it starts. In which case I have a hypothesis - the file might have been corrupted in that inadvertent system shutdown. Perhaps someone here with a lot more X knowledge can help. Maybe 'man xmodmap' - there might be more info there. This also begs another question: if one file is corrupt, what else could be? I would suggest making frequent backups of your linux install just in case something gets really messed up - I experiment a lot, you see, so I do ;) > Angelo.
