What made this affect me, I think the method is different to disable it |
| 24 |
in udev than it is in eudev. I had something set, not on the kernel |
| 25 |
line tho, to disable it on mine when using eudev. I think it is a udev |
| 26 |
rules file. Thing is, when I rebooted with udev installed, it ignored |
| 27 |
the method eudev uses and used the newer naming method. If the same |
| 28 |
option worked for both, then I would likely have seen no difference at |
| 29 |
all. I might add, that is what I was expecting and was surprised to |
| 30 |
find it not to be the case. When I switched from udev to eudev ages |
| 31 |
ago, I did nothing but remove udev and install eudev. That's it. I |
| 32 |
don't recall changing anything else but that was ages ago. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
I'm hoping others doing this switch will notice my thread and this |
| 35 |
thread to prevent them from switching and not realizing it can break |
| 36 |
things until it is configured correctly. Bad thing is, it breaks one |
| 37 |
thing that is needed to get help, the connection to the internet. If it |
| 38 |
is a remote machine, that is really bad. |

Let's hope this alerts others to double and maybe even triple check |
| 41 |
things before rebooting. |
