I've just installed udev, and I found that moving devfs.rules to
udev.rules (after backing udev.rules up ...) solved the problems I had.
I think that devfs.rules is a compatability ruleset that creates /dev as
if devfs were running. I can't see any harm in this, so I've left my
box running with these rules active. I don't know what rules the
"native" udev.rules file propagates - my advice is not to use them until
it settles down a bit!
Cheers!
