Thanks. Jorge Vicetto noted that having CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 set |
| 10 |
in the kernel config is a major no-no with recent versions of udev, and |
| 11 |
will screw up device creation. This kernel config setting was indeed |
| 12 |
set, which may well have accounted for this particular incarnation of |
| 13 |
the problem. Roman Zilka noted that the 2.6.29 kernel I was using when |
| 14 |
this happens has known issues and isn't even in the Gentoo portage tree |
| 15 |
anymore. So thanks to Roman and Jorge I have a 2.6.36 kernel built |
| 16 |
(without the problem setting) which I'll try when I get a moment. Being |
| 17 |
a day late and a dollar short at the moment I'm a bit short on round |
| 18 |
tuits :-) |
