Hello everyone,
Now that florin has updated udev upto 059 in moonbase, we thought it would be a
good idea to warn you about a small issue with pre-2.6.12 kernels and udev-059:
discovering will be slower. In Greg's words, author and maintainer of udev, 'No,
this doesn"t "break" support on older kernels, just makes new device discover a
little slow. It will all still work just fine. So a user can upgrade udev, and
then their kernel.'
Worst case wait will be 5 seconds, but that should not be a general rule, so
don't worry too much ;)
Have fun,
florin and nestu ;)
