Yes, but you see, my point is that-- as far as I know-- udev doesn't |
| 14 |
create the agpgart device; the loading of the kernel module does that. |
| 15 |
In the same way that the kernel modules are responsible for creating all |
| 16 |
the motherboard resources that load at boot before udev comes into the |
| 17 |
picture. |

So that's why I'm feeling that the problem is with your kernel, not udev |
| 20 |
per se. Although maybe coldplug wouldn't hurt to have in rc-update. |

What is the error? Module doesn't exist? Module is already loaded? |
| 26 |
Symbol errors? |

Yes, it's a speeded-up, dedicated form of the PCI bus. |

The kernel configuration for it is |
