Hi, I've just been hit with this too. It would appear that the change
to udev has affected the way my local rules are processed. Perms are
no longer set as specified, and some devices are not being created
(dvd, cdrom, et al). KDE would not start until I manually change
perms to 666 for these /dev/ entries (might not need them all just to
get KDE up):
random
urandom
pt*
tty*
mixer*
dsp*
zero*
null*
Logging into a console or via ssh as a user gave the game away with
masses of:
"/dev/null: Permission denied" messages.
Maybe I have a problem with the syntax in udev.rules? This used to
work before the upgrade:
KERNEL="random", MODE="0666"
KERNEL="urandom", MODE="0666"
and so on...
And others like these no longer work:
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hdc", NAME="%k", GROUP="cdrom", MODE="0660",
SYMLINK="dvd"
BUS="ide", KERNEL="hdd", NAME="%k", GROUP="cdrom", MODE="0660",
SYMLINK="cdrom"
syslog contains udev messages, but do not give any clues to the lines
in error. E.g.

The change log doesn't suggest the syntax has changed :-(
