A quick look at /etc/init.d/udev suggests that the way to pre-create device nodes when udev starts is to edit the file /etc/udev/links.conf. Or just do what I did for vmware and create an init.d script that runs just after udev that creates the device nodes that vmware needs. FWIW, I am not having this problem. I have nvidia in my /etc/modules file and the real /dev (which is there before udev starts up) contains the nvidia0 device, so my nvidia driver gets loaded pretty early in the boot. That would be another way to skin the cat; your real /dev is "moved" (via a bind mount) to /.dev, so make sure the nvidia0 device exists in that directory, and add nvidia to your /etc/modules file, and it should load for you at boot time. -- Dave Carrigan Seattle, WA, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.rudedog.org/ | ICQ:161669680 UNIX-Apache-Perl-Linux-Firewalls-LDAP-C-C++-DNS-PalmOS-PostgreSQL-MySQL
