28 There's too many variables, though -- firstly, /usr/src/linux/.config
29 may not match /proc/config.gz. And even if both are checked there's
30 nothing to say that the next boot is going to use a kernel that
31 matches either one.
32
33 Realistically, what udev needs is something at runtime to report the
34 error and temporarily bypass the requirement, because this really is a
35 runtime issue instead of something that can be properly controlled or
36 contained at build/install time.
