udev is now said to be "mature", which I interpret to mean it should be complete enough to use.
I've tested udev on my box. It manages /udev just fine. But what about managing /dev, right from boot? Isn't there some initrd-type startup magic that's required, in order for udev to populate /dev with the necessary device files for booting? Has anyone written a set of instructions for doing this? Or is it good enough just to put a link to /etc/init.d/udev in the right place in /etc/rcS.d? And if so, where is the right place? (If you can't tell, I haven't tried this yet.) The udev README says the startup script should be called immediately after /proc and /sys are mounted. Right now this happens in S10checkroot.sh and S35mountkernfs, respectively. So it might go at S37udev, right after S36hotplug. Is anyone working on a Debian package for udev, that will include the necessary startup magic?
