All of the above? Rationale being (1) is required to check against the |
| 12 |
kernel you're supposedly using, (2) for the kernel you definitely are |
| 13 |
using, and (3) to make sure people remember. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
An alternative to (2) and (3), though is to add a check to the udev initscript. |
