Looks like the Ubuntu people have found a workaround, but I do not know why unix.ko is not always being correctly autoloaded.
(Anyway, a generic kernel with modular AF_UNIX is stupidly broken.) ----- Forwarded message from Jeff Bailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Jeff Bailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: udev not creating /dev/input/mice To: Marco d'Itri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> We traced the race condition here, FYI: It seems that the 'unix' kernel module isn't always loaded, so udevsend can't talk to udevd. In our testcases, it looks like forcing it to be loaded in advance does the trick.
