But if you do have issues, try to bother me first, as it could be something I did or did not do ;) > If you could get udev working in gentoo you would become an instant > hero rather than the target of nasty emails.

With sysfs patches from Greg (not yet into official linux bk), I only had to run alsa's script to create device nodes, and create /dev/{core,stdin,stdout,stderr} - the rest udev creates - although, yes we do have the ramdisk/tarball feature to save permissions/additions. But once again, drop me a mail first with versions of udev, baselayout, kernel, hotplug, etc, if you have latest unstable baselaout and still cannot get it working - it is a Gentoo issue after all (as well as the fact that I was under the impression that it should _just_work_ if you have latest everything unstable =3D) ...
