The usb and pci vendor/product string lookup programs usually need /usr. We run coldplug after the rootfs is mounted, so that usually works, if /usr is not on a different filesystem and mounted later. The sound card setup tools are in /usr too, usually. > If you prefer to keep them in /usr/share/udev/keymaps, I can change > that easily. I have no preference. We can keep it there for now I think. If /usr will be better for some reason, we can just move it. It's always easier to move stuff into a public dir than to move public stuff to a private udev dir. :) >> http://www.kernel.org/faq/#account > > Thanks, account request sent.
