They should be in: |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
/etc/udev/rules.d |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
I have been known to back that directory up, delete all the rules and |
| 62 |
then re-emerge udev. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. If |
| 63 |
you have rules you made yourself, do back them up first. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Of course you may be able to check in the rule files and see if there is |
| 66 |
something obviously wrong too. |
