You may need to define the devices in /etc/udev/rules/10.xxxx. The 50.xxx
file is for standard devices but you can add some - I've done that for a
couple of my devices. If you haven't already Gentoo docs have a udev
guide with links to some good sites.

Hi,
I'm not 100% sure of this but I've been trying to set up a MythTV
backend on a second system. The system was running and older kernel
and devfs. I updated the kernel to 2.6.11-gentoo-r9 and included v4l
support built into the kernel. I was using devfs at that time
yesterday. I *thought* that after doing that I had some /dev/v4l
entries but I'm not positive. Somewhere along the way I decided that
since I'm here I'd convert the machine to udev. That went OK as far as
I can tell, but now I notice that I don't have any /dev/v4l entries on
this machine. Maybe they weren't there before. I'm no longer very
sure.
In the new machine we've got the new PVR-150 card working with the
development version of ivtv (Not portage - ver. 0.3.3k) and now doing
the test of the card we capture video.
cat /dev/video0 >test.mpg
and then playing the video in mplayer everything looks good.
At this point I'm not sure what creates /dev/v4l entries. I have
them in my backend machine in Northern CA which uses a PVR-250 and
currently ivtv-0.2.0 from their site. (not portage)
dragonfly linux # ls -al /dev/v4l

But not on the new backend machine in southern CA:
gandalf linux # ls -al /dev/v4l
ls: /dev/v4l: No such file or directory
gandalf linux # uname -r
2.6.11-gentoo-r9
gandalf linux #
I've checked that both have v4l support enabled in the kernel. What
am I missing on this new machine? I'm sure there must just be some
other thign required to get this turned on? I don't seem to be able
to configure MythTV without this.
Thanks,
Mark
