Greetings Morten: Same general thing happen to me. It seems that something ate udev in the last upgrade - it's not being started during the boot process on my sid machine. I never paid close attention to where it was being started from before, so I don't know exactly where to put it back. As a quick fix, creating a symlink in /etc/rcS.d to ../init.d/udev at level 11: ln -s ../init.d/udev S11udev has fixed the problem enough that the machine will boot properly. Good luck. -Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
