sys-fs/udev-030 fails to provide /dev/mapper/* for dm-mod. I tried both enabling and disabling RC_DEVICE_TARBALL but /dev/mapper refuses to appear or any of its contents. Furthermore, /dev/loop* fails to appear with RC_DEVICE_TARBALL disabled, which works on all my non-ppc boxes.

We probably should bump udev-045 to stable to fix this, we're the only arch that hasn't yet. If any ppc-devs have a problem with bumping to 045, comment on this bug.
I tested out udev-045 which works on my other non-ppc box but even then it fails to present the files/directories on my ppc box. All packages / config files were updated and RC_DEV_TARBALL was set to "no".
Marked udev-045 stable which should fix this problem. Reopen the bug if there are any further issues.
see comment #2
Can you test a newer version of udev (which is currently testing)? I don't have any problems with dm-mod on my system. Every device is created as expected.
I tested udev-050 and up and all did not create the loop[0-9] or mapper nodes after modprobing them. File System kernel config and /etc/conf.d/rc are identical to my other working archs that use udev-045.
Well, why 050? Try 056. ;-)
Amazingly, 056 also does not work for me.
I finally got a chance to test this, and I also am not having a problem with dm-mod/loop appearing. Are you sure you have no custom udev rules set that may be breaking this? I'm not sure what else to suggest.
Please reopen if you're still having a problem.
