<para>Install the modules:</para>
<para>Be very suspicious while reading other documentation, because it
usually applies to 2.4.x kernels only. As far as the editors know, kernel
configuration issues specific to Hotplug and Udev
are documented nowhere. The problem is that Udev will create a device node
only if Hotplug or a user-written script inserts the corresponding module
into the kernel, and not all modules are detectable by Hotplug. Note
that statements like
<screen>alias char-major-XXX some-module</screen>
in <filename>/etc/modprobe.conf</filename> file don't work with
Udev, and other aliases are often unnecessary with Hotplug.</para>
<para>Because of all those compilcations with Hotplug, Udev and modules, we
strongly recommend you to start with a completely non-modular kernel
configuration, especially if this is the first time you use Udev.</para>
