It 'just worked' for me, but I do run ~x86. The big difference between 2.6.14 and later kernels is that later kernels use netlink for hotplug events instead of udevsend. You can see this towards the bottom of /lib/rcscripts/addons/udev-start.sh. There is not anything special that you need to do to prepare for this, other than etc-update. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
