udev

[Karl Larsen]

    After re-booting I checked and indeed it has the parallel port 
problem solved. Observe:

[karl at k5di ~]$ ls /dev/lp*
/dev/lp0  /dev/lp1  /dev/lp2  /dev/lp3
[karl at k5di ~]$

This is better than the old udev.

    Yes and the printer still works. Good job somebody!

    Now to get the new kernel(s) and see how they co-exist with this 
udev. I had to get to where the yum would let me have a kernel. Then I 
d/l the kernel-2.6.22.1-41.fc7 which didn't work at ALL with the older 
udev but it booted up and I found that my USB things are now working 
just fine. The gmfsk I like is still working fine.

    The only thing still not working is Skype. It works with the old 
kerenel and the new udev, but not with the new kernel. Skype is kind of 
a problem anyway, so not a bad problem.

    In summary I have the new udev, udev-113-9.fc7 which has made it 
possible for the new kernel to work. It appears the so called new kernel 
problems were udev problems instead.
