 Confusion reigns. Both the bugzillas above are about kernel-2.6.22-27
 and Karl is complaining about kernel-2.6.22-42.

 My memory stick automounts on the latter so there must be a presumption
 that the problem lies in the hardware used assuming no odd software
 installations of udev are involved. 

 It is hard to believe that sticking the memory stick into the port could
 be done incorrectly, but who knows. 
    I am mad that some think I am so STUPID that for 6 months I have used 
my memory stick with the old kernel, and stuck it in wrong when I first 
used the new kernel. Jeeze you IDIOTS! Grow up.

    What I was going to do is explain what happened this morning. I got not 
the 44 but the 41 kernel when I tried to get the 44. I guess yum  could 
not find the 44 and did the best it could. So I rebooted to the 41 
kernel and sure enough it will not work with a USB device. But I tried a 
  memory stick that you plug into the proper slot and it worked perfect!

    So what I have is a cheap thing about the size of a floppy drive at the 
front panel which plugs into one of the two USB things on the mother 
board. It has 5 slots for various memeory sticks from camera and cell 
phone and other things. With this kernel (41) the 5 slots work but the 
one USB on this devise does not work.

    I am sure there is something not quite right with my computer. But for 
sure with the old kernel it DID WORK.

<joke on>
yum could not find the 44, sometimes I would like to find a "44", a 44 Magnum
like the one Clint Eastwood uses and said "Go ahead make my day" to correct some
issues with yum.  
<joke off>

Nonetheless, as mentioned in the threads.  The fix is to update udev to 
udev-113-8.fc7
which should be pushed into updates as Rahul has suggested.  We wait a little bit and put
this issue behind us.  

I am wondering/intrigued about the kernel names from 
2.6.21-1-3194.fc7
2.6.21-1.3228.fc7
which are old names to the new ones
2.6.22.1-27.fc7
2.6.22.1-33.fc7 
Is there a place to read about the fedora kernel naming?  

Regards,

Antonio
