It seems that there is another solution that involves upgrading udev, but I don't believe that is an option for me since I am using Sarge (i.e. stable) and don't want to pull in packages from testing or unstable. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong as I would also like to have my bootlogd start immediately after udev if possible. Thanks, MGL -- M.
