Ah ha. Near the top of that output: + cd /dev/.static/dev/ And indeed, the expected devices were created there. I really have very little clue about udev or what it does, so my apologies if I was being an idiot when submitting this bug report. However, it seems rather odd to me that MAKEDEV would silently create things there, but have them be invisible under /dev. I hope that looks odd to you too :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
