How did you set it up? Where didn't it work, X, gpm? |

Udev works fine for me since months, now. |

Config options for devfs were removed in 2.6.14. However, the code is still |
| 34 |
there (for now). |

They are commented out. Just grep your kernel source tree for "CONFIG_DEVFS" |
| 40 |
and comment them in again. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
However, sooner or later the devfs code will be removed from the kernel, |
| 43 |
maybe already in 2.6.15 or .16. If you tell us more details about your |
| 44 |
problems with udev, people here on the list will try to help you sort them |
| 45 |
out. |
