[gentoo-user] Kernel 3.7.9: Lots of devices are root root rw-------.

[Alan Mackenzie]

Hi, Gentoo!

Just built the new kernel 3.7.9 last night, and it's one of these
"nothing works" situations.

It seems the problems are with the device files, whose ownership is set
to "root root" (rather than, e.g., "root audio") and whose permissions
are set to crw------- (rather than the expected crw-rw----).

I'm still running udev-171-r10.  This might well make a difference.

Needless to say, everything works under kernel 3.6.11.  It would be nice
if there were some mistake in my kernel config.

Could somebody help me get this fixed, please.
