Thanks for that advice. Once I looked at that I noticed that there's an
option UDEV_RAMFS in the same file which must be set to "no". I'm not sure
whether UDEV_RAMFS="no" would allow it to work on SE Linux with
UDEV_INITRD="yes" but don't have any plans to test this at the moment.
where does that option come from? on debian, all the options in
0.030's config file are lower-case, and there's no udev_initrd="yes"
or "no".
We either need to get ramfs working in the Fedora kernels or make
some changes
to the udev plans.
One option would be to use an ext2 file system on a ram disk for udev. It
would do all the same stuff as ramfs (at a slightly higher memory cost) and
work perfectly with SE Linux.
*whew*.
