Alexander knows this information, but I'll take a stab. Reading the
RELEASE-NOTES in udev-088, it doesn't seem to indicate that udev
*needs* any version of the kernel, yet. There's information about how
linux-2.6.15 adds a lot of functonality to relieve udev. I can't make
a guess on how backwards compatible it is.
Here's an important note in the TODO list that would cause udev to not
work with current lfs trunk which uses udevstart and udevsend:
o remove udevsend, udevstart and their man pages
(we rely on the kernel "uevent" triggers of kernel 2.6.15 and no longer
want to guess event properties from sysfs like udevstart is doing it)
Again, I'm kind of in the dark here. Hopefully, Alexander will weigh
in and not scoff at me for spreading FUD.
