It would solve the problem with 2.6.30-rc6(3)-tip pvops kernel or
2.6.29.4 xen-ified per Suse (2.6.27 XCI as well)

You could downgrade your udev or upgrade your kernel (which i would
prefer here) but i doubt that you really need the functionality that
udev only gets out of newer sysfs layouts.

By the way, the warning doesn't hurt at this point as your system runs
fine...

Just keep in mind that 2.6.18 kernel is stoneaged and that a newer
kernel would get around this warning.


have fun,

Marc
