if it is decided to go to devfs, be aware that some devices will require special care - specifically, some hardware raid devices. the cciss & cpqarray drivers (and likely the mylex controllers) have a namespace issue that prevents both the devfs name and the standard /dev entry names to exist simultaneously. (for example, /dev/cciss/c0d0 vs. /dev/cciss/c0d0/) d-i can of course work around this, but it would require knowing which type of /dev the user wants to use in the end. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
