You should rm -rf /dev/.udev/, but it is better to leave the rest of /dev alone. That way you may be able to access the system even if udev breaks completely. Actually I only know about the problem of /dev/console being necessary from my own experience. I once moved my root filesystem to another partition using "cp -ax", not considering that this would leave out everything under /dev. The cloned root system worked fine until I booted a kernel without an initramfs. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
