Hi,
I did correct the config /dev/pmud, so maybe I'm missing devfs with
the new kernel. I'll check on that. 

I'm sure I am running pbbuttonsd because the start script would give an
error initially. It couldn't insert the module since in benh kernels
these things are not modules but built in the kernel. Once I eliminated
that from the script it ran merrily. 

Now that I think about, I really should compile the kernel, it will 
be easier to do the debugging. Two questions:
a) does the benh kernel have devfs at all? or is it just a matter
of enabling it at config time?
b) do you have the .config resulting from your compile? that way
I don't have to go guessing ppc options. I've only compiled intel
kernels before. 

Thanks,
Platy
