Changelog
udev (079-0ubuntu9) dapper; urgency=low
"Dancing freaks and sycophants, Westwood heels and shoulder pads."
* Rework the initramfs premount script a little to try and make the root
filesystem order a little more predictable. In particular make sure we
don't load USB/firewire/etc. drivers until we've loaded IDE and SCSI
drivers otherwise sda could be won by a fast USB key over your SATA
root filesystem. Ubuntu #28150, #30418.
* Include support for renaming of network interfaces. This is done with
a new iftab_helper that can parse a subset of the ifrename /etc/iftab
file and return the expected name of the network interface. This is
called from a udev rule that uses the internal support for network
interface renaming. Interface swapping is supported both by renaming
network interfaces that would clash with one specified in the file and
by waiting for an interface name to become free in udev itself.
Ubuntu: #7050, #30240.
