Package: udev
Version: 208-8
Severity: normal

A while ago I upgraded to testing. During the upgrade I was informed
by udev (thanks!!), that my kernel was lacking the prerequisites and
thus I compiled an appropriate kernel (I only added config option, I
did not remove any: I put the diff of them below).

The system now boots (I checked, it would not have booted with the 
previous kernel), however, with three artifacts (listed in the order
of severity):

a) the ppp device is not created. When I run pon, I got an error
message asking me to mknod the device. I put the following command for
now in rc.local:
mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0

b) The booting is very slow. I made some "real" screenshots (please
excuse the flash). The first shows the lines after which the booting
stops for >~ 10 seconds:

Before the upgrade there was no notible pause here.

c) Several modules fail to load; these messages are new (and I did not
compile anything different for e.g. lp or ppdev) and I could not
notice and problems except for a).

Before the upgrade those messages did not appear.

For b) and c) I'm not 100% sure that they relate to udev, however this
seems to be the most likely cause.

Please note that I do not use an initrd.
