 And our survey saidpossibly not :)  Try udev-062!

Too late... Udev-058 went in, and hotplug. By the time I type make
uninstall, there'll probably be udev-065 :-/.

Now whan hotplug runs, I get this from lsmod

AFTER I have manually removed the ehci_hcd module which gives me
continuous current warnings. I commented it out of the /etc/hotplug.d/
scripts, and checked it wasn't in /etc/rc.d/init.d either :-o.

I have a gigabyte of syslog messages about overcurrent.

Mind you, I STILL have no /dev/hdc, or /dev/hdd. /proc/ide/ide0 shows me
hda (all nodes present  correct). There is no hdb in the box.

/proc/ide/ide1 shows me hdc  hdd as cdroms in the media file. hdd is
actually a dvd. NO NODES :-((.

Also, btw, loading the 57 framebuffer modules (by running hotplug) seems
to cure the cursor thing, but gives me the ugliest 80x30 screen setting 
ever. How does a guy set up his framebuffer modes? It doesn't matter
what I boot on, hotplug screws it up on me :-(.

lad set up

See. That's technical progress. Without udev you had to have a zillion
'device files' (and MAKEDEV to help you), and with udev you have to have a
zillion 'rules' and nothing to help you. It's probably meant to improve your
learning abilities.

Check if you compiled a driver or module called 'idecd'. It's in Device
Drivers/Ata Atapi/IDE Atapi CDROM. Or maybe your drive is one of the 'old CD
Roms'? (I think not, though. I'm using old hardware here because of money
problems, but if it was _that_ old, the electrolytic capacitors would have
dried out by now anyway, wouldn't they.)

Get fbset (from the Debian guys). But with 640x480 on the framebuffer I kept
getting 80x30 too, so maybe you need to load another font. I don't know how,
though. I guess 'setfont' won't do it, because you have to choose extra
framebuffer fonts in 'make menuconfig'. I think you would need a 8x20 font
to get 80x24 characters, but the biggest framebuffer font is 8x16, giving
the familiar 80x30 characters on 640x480 pixels.

I can only guess right now. I gave up on the whole framebuffer thing myself
on friday, concerning LFS 6.x. I found X11 on the framebuffer was even
slower than on the regular nvidia driver from kernel org. Damn. Everything
is different with kernel 2.6. (Not complaining, just ranting.)
