There are some postings on the kernel mailing list for this week. It 
seems some backlevel versions of udev are the problem. SuSE has 0.50, 
the latest is 058, for all I know SuSE 0.50 may equate to 058 in the 
rest of the world, but I have had no problems with 2.6.12 on either x86 
or x86_64. One other interesting point, I have all the modules that 
initrd is supposed to load compiled in and in 9.2 the usb modules used 
to load, but on 9.3 I found that mkinitrd was needed and last week I saw 
on the kernel mailing list a post saying that with the new kernels 
mkinitrd was a must.
Regards
Sid.
