And that’s it. We don’t need udev, since anything in the MODULES variable will be explicitly loaded.
udev (or something like it) does not just load modules, it also creates the required device nodes.
No it doesn't, devtmpfs does that. udev sets the proper permissions on those device nodes, that's all. But the point that seems to escape some people on this thread, is that an initrd really is needed in order to be able to support the huge number of systems that the distro supports, so it isn't going away, sorry. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
