Sorry, I missed the bit about udev version (110). i have the latest 
available in the recipe tree. The link is there and working....

cd udev
boss@ /System/Links/Libraries/udev]ll firmware.sh

lrwxrwxrwx  1 boss root     39 2007-08-18 12:11 firmware.sh -> 
/Programs/Udev/110/lib/udev/firmware.sh

Here is the output of UpdateSettings and Symlink...I don't think this 
did anything though...any other clues on how I can deal with the udev 
errors (and capture them) ...maybe they are related to this (though i 
never see anything about firmware  scroll by)
