Does /sys contains anything with name lp0 - like /sys/class/printer/lp0. If yes, then udevinfo -a -p <PATH> could help.

Adding usb devices i.e. my usbstick works fine. I'm getting a new device /dev/usbstick as defined in my local-udev-rules.

Please attach kernel-config and dmesg output also.

Your first dmesg attachement is useless, as the ringbuffer is filled with just usb-storage messages. Either attach dmesg from right after booting (if messages are not yet overwritten), or /var/log/dmesg if it exists and contains useful data. As I still do not see any problems maybe it helps to run udevmonitor --env while loading the module. Issue I see: you have enabled parport ide drivers.

No other device dirs get created - so udev cannot create device nodes in /dev. Second: I see no udev events - do you have udevd running? My guess is: It can have something todo with parport IDE catching the parpart.
Did you compile "Parallel printer support". I guess the module-name will be printer or lp.
After starting udevmonitor, I found, that there are no messages when I do 'modprobe lp' So I decided to a 'make clean' and rebuild my kernel and all modules using my last kernel config file. I don't know why but after rebooting my machine everything works fine ?! The bug should be closed now ... Matthias, vielen Dank für deine Mühen. Gruß Henning
