udev: no /dev/input/mice made

udev: no /dev/input/mice made

[Reg Clemens]

OK, something happened with my FC3 system, but now when
I reboot, Windows won't come up.

The problem is that /dev/input/mice is missing.
If I make the directory and then the node, viz

	mkdir /dev/input
	mknod /dev/input/mice c 13 63

then all is well.

I have to assume that udev is removing, and remaking this node
each time I reboot.  What do I have to do to get it to do it right?
As far as I can tell, the /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules file is untouched.

What is "something"? What did you change?

What does:
  ls -l /sys/class/input/
print?

Yes, that's intentional. /dev is on a tmpfs, its content does not
survive a reboot.

What kernel version?
What udev version?
