New kernels and old distributionsNew kernels and old distributionsPosted Aug 3, 2006 14:52 UTC (Thu) by incase (subscriber, #37115)In reply to: New kernels and old distributions by nim-nim Parent article: New kernels and old distributions

Why? udev could use a versioned main part, i.e. the "udev" script would call some /lib/udev/`uname -r`/udev-main script/binary. I don't see much of a problem there.
However, in one sense, you are right: This would only work for future kernels. Booting - for example - 2.6.8 like this won't work because there won't be any /lib/udev/2.6.8/udev-main to accompany it. Unless someone created some sort of 'backport' to achieve that.
