Can't seem to find it in the archives of either list ...maybe I'm just
blind...can you point me at it?
Also, is it a patch against kernel sources? Will it work against 2.6.0
final?

Yup...lots o stuf in /sys/class/tty: tty0-tty63 directories all
containing a "dev" file. tty0 (for example) contains dev with contents 4:0

Ahhh...udev.rules only contains ide entries for hda-hdd. hda is:
NUMBER, BUS="ide", ID="0.0", NAME="ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/%D",
SYMLINK="hda%n"
Should there be one line for every conceivable IDE device?
