Package: release-notes Severity: normal Tags: jessie udev 176 and newer requires a kernel with devtmpfs support since it no longer creates any device nodes itself [1]. The Debian provided kernels in wheezy and jessie do have CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y already, so are not affected by this change. Users with self-compiled kernels should check their kernel configuration and update if needed.
We should add a section about this new kernel requirement to the jessie release notes.
