SOLUTION:   I Googled for "starting udev".   One of the possible solutions
suggested was to add "acpi=off" at the end of the line for that Kernel. I
did that, after powering the box off and then back on, and it is working:

[lanny at dell2400 ~]$ uname -a
Linux dell2400.homelan 2.6.18-92.1.1.el5 #1 SMP Sat Jun 21 19:04:27 EDT 2008
i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Which configuration file do I edit, to make that change? TIA! Lanny
