It sounds good to unify our efforts. I'm now working on creating the
needed device nodes so we can actually run 2.6 kernel on a plain SBC
(no external driver nor NFS). I'll probably try udev too, but it
doesn't seem useful. In embedded is kind of an overkill, as Charlie

the time... actually, you never do it.
