it seems that it gets created later. On boot there is no such thing.
However, when I make /dev/hda2 with mknod and then mount that partition,
hda and hda1 get also created, along with /dev/ide/bus. So something is
working, but udev needs to get 'triggered' as it looks like...

Another problem I have been running into are the permissions. I have a
nvidia card, so I added this to links.udev:
M nvidia0       c 195 0
...
M nvidia7       c 195 7
M nvidiactl     c 195 255

These get created on boot, but with the wrong permissions. Adding stuff to
udev.permissions doesn't help in any way:

nvidia*:root:root:0666

It looks most like udev.permissions is completely ignored.


So 2 questions have raised:
- how to let udev create device nodes/trees in advance/on it's own
- how to set permissions right for manually created devices


Thanks all,
Sebas
