correct :D

However, after spending over three hours, opensuse 11.2 and kernel
2.6.18 is simply a no-no combo :P
opensuse's udev requires newer kernel, and using kernel 2.6.18 gives
"udevd: error getting signalfd". Since udevd refuses to start, md wont
start, lvm won't start, and so on, and so on :(
