Hi, as described in the summary, udev-077 doesn't create devicenodes for USB-drives after they were plugged in. Last working udev-version was 075.

Is udevd running? You might need to reboot to get this to work properly.
And how could 075 work for you, there is no 075 ebuild.
Hi, yes, udev is running. I forgot to mention that I get the devicenodes created when I run udevstart. But when I then remove the USB-drive the nodes also won't get deleted. And yes you're right, there is no udev-075 ebuild in portage but after I had trouble with the latest udev-version I went the versions down step by step to find out from which version on this error occurs by copying the last (for me) working ebuild (version 073) in my overlay and renamed it to the versions 076 and 075. 076 also didn't work but 075 works great and is the version that I currently run on this machine... Cheers Poly
Hi, err sorry, misinformation :-( The devicesnodes even don't appear after I run udevstart (still had the old udev-version running when I tested this). So udev-077 doesn't recognize USB-drives at all... Greetz Poly
is udevd running? and are your usb devices showing up properly in /sys/block/ ? If they aren't there, then udev can't do anything about it.
Hi, alright... that was the culprit... udevd wasn't runnig. I rebooted my machine and now it's working again. But that's strange... this means if someone updates from udev-073 he has to reboot to get udev working properly again. Maybe this is worth a note in the ebuild? Anyway... sorry that I wasted your time Greg but I was sure I had found a bug in udev :-( Greetz Poly
