It may be a dynamic DB run at startup and when a device is added/removed. I'm not sure yet. I just kicked off a fresh lfs svn build and will use that for testing lfs-udev-196. >> I'm also not sure about how to test the DB.

Maybe try some > variants (without pci: perhaps?) if it doesn't, too. I'll do that when I'm up on the new system. I've booted up before without udev running at all and I can then test udevd and udevadm to try to check things out. > Or poke around /sys on your machine for some of the modalias attributes > and use their contents; maybe it's machine-specific.
