Package: udev
Version: 0.100-1

When rebooting the system, the /dev/shm tmpfs filesystem does not
mount after update to udev-0.100-1.  On my two systems (Thinkpad T40
and AMD Duron desktop), the problem manifested itself as the mouse
device nodes not being created, even after manual loading of the
psmouse module.  The filesystems do not mount because the mount points
are missing from /dev and are not created automatically by udev.

I fixed the problem by creating the directories in /lib/udev/devices/
so that they get created in /dev on booting:

# install -dv /lib/udev/devices/{shm,pts}
# shutdown -r now

The mountpoints were created as expected and the tmpfs filesystem
mounted on the next reboot.  This also resolved my problems with the
mouse device nodes.

If there is a better fix, please let me know.

Regards,

Ryan Van Wagoner
