Hi Carl, thanks for the tip. In fact, my concern is regarding the kernel we use. If we build kernel 3.7.5 for example and if we run an udevd compiler with kernel heardes 2.6.34, the structures won't match and IMHO (I'm far from being an expert) I think that udevd could crash the kernel, or the kernel could crash udevd...
My exact problem is to build udev using the kernel we create, not the kernel headers from the system installed kernel. Once I figure out how to do that, I think all issues will disapear. having kernel-2.6.34.1 build in SystemImager hides this problem as the kernel is built using its own 2.6.34.1 kernel hearder, and udev is built using system installed kernel header V2.6.34.1 which are (in this specific case) the same. So I think that there are 2 coices: 1/ revert back to 2.6.34.1 (and accept that some recent network drivers and other drivers are not available) or 2/ find a way (using patch or specific defines) to build udev using alternative kernel headers. IMHO, I'm for the second version because: 1/ Not all distributions have the same kernel revision. Thus having kernel 2.6.34.1 on centos can be fine, but can be a problem on latest ubuntu which uses a newer kernel thus newer kernel hearder, thus the udev build may fail. 2/ Being independant from system installed kernel headers let us update kernel and udev when new hardware is supported. To achiev the second step, we need to build and install components in the build_dir using make install instead of make "install-exec" so we can use includes in sync whith what we build. Then just before crating the initrd, we can remove the unwanted includes and docs. Of course, this is my humble vision of things, and as I'm not low level system expert, I may be wrong. So If someone think thare is a better option, don't hesitate to write here.

Strange thing is, according to the package list ( http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6.3/os/x86_64/Packages/ ) centos 6 is using version 147 --- but 147 isn't in the list of udev packages hosted at kernel.org (where si downloads the package). http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/ maybe run "udevd --version" to see exactly what's running on centos. At least you'll know that version has compiled for the os.
