Currently, Gentoo and Xandros both depend on devfs for populating /dev. Until they switch away from devfs (which they will at some point, as it will not be provided by Linux 2.6 forever) they will not be supported out of the box by XenLinux's device drivers. Currently we only test on distributions that have a 'normal' set of device special files in /dev. I don't think we've ever tested on udev/sysfs, but since this is the new way of dealing with dynamic devices in Linux, we're interested in adding any necessary support required for using udev with XenLinux. -- Keir ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
