Comment 1 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-19 00:56:58 UTC 
udev version, please...
Comment 2 Zak Peirce 2006-01-19 07:54:28 UTC 
I am using Udev 068

Any other info that you need?
Comment 3 Zak Peirce 2006-01-19 07:57:24 UTC 
Every time i reboot i have to do this as root

mknod /dev/input/event1 c 13 65
Comment 4 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-19 08:09:50 UTC 
With 2.6.15 you should be using udev-079 or newer.  Please upgrade.
Comment 5 Zak Peirce 2006-01-19 09:10:53 UTC 
I will test this when i get home since it is on my laptop.
Comment 6 Zak Peirce 2006-01-19 21:46:49 UTC 
updating baselayout and udev resolved the issue.  If they are required why are they not listed as dependancies inthe ebuild for kernel 2.6.15
