I had installed udev (and prevented devfs from starting), and after a while, my mouse wouldn't respond at all.  I rebooted and it was the same.  I switched back to devfs and it was working again.

It's strange that it didn't stop working at the start of when I first booted into the udev-only system.

I noticed that the /dev/mouse symlink wasn't there when I installed udev.  Is that another bug?  Anyway, I added it, and after rebooting it was still there but the mouse still didn't work.

I'm using udev 030, and gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8.  Devfs is in the kernel but I don't start it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install and run udev without devfs
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The mouse doesn't work

Expected Results:  
The mouse works

The mouse seems to work now, so I don't know what was wrong.  Sorry about that.  It may have been a loose connection or something.  I'll change it to invalid for now and wait until it happens again before re-opening the bug.
