It's probably udev. I had similar issues after an upgrade. Then another upgrade and my system was not loading device modules like it should have. I believe what I did was replace the files that were removed in /etc/udev/rules.d. These, I suppose, were moved to /lib/udev/rules.d but for some reason, until I put them back in /etc/udev/rules.d, I could not get things working. There was a bug report for this. -- B. L.

Have run a few searches using those parameters for info, and saw several related bug reports, but no fixes. Looking in my own /etc/udev/rules.d/: $ ls /etc/udev/rules.d/ 025_libchipcard.rules libnjb.rules 025_libgphoto2.rules z60_alsa-utils.rules 025_logitechmouse.rules z60_hdparm.rules 65_dmsetup.rules z60_kpartx.rules 70-persistent-cd.rules z60_libpisock9.rules 70-persistent-net.rules z60_libsane-extras.rules 85_dmraid.rules z60_libsane.rules 85-usb-hd-fix.rules z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules libmtp8.rules and looking at a couple of these individual files a little closer, I won't proceed into doing something that I don't understand, because I'm bound to make a mistake somewhere! So, are there any known fixes yet - or simply wait for upstream developers? Copied to list for archiving. Cheers
