Hi Lucio. Well, you need to see more output? The tree programs needed at boot time are this: /sbin/udevd --daemon /sbin/udevtrigger /sbin/udevsettle If you run the first in debian could be fail because debian checks a lot of things (/etc/init.d/udev) but if you run the raw command /sbin/udevd --daemon at the rc script this will give you the output that you need. I think that there is a funcion in the rc script that hides all the output to the console. Best, Orestes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
