Have you tried running udevadm test on one of the affected nodes? For example % sudo udevadm info --name=/dev/video0 | grep '^P:' P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/0000:04:01.0/video4linux/video0 % sudo udevadm test /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.3/0000:03:00.0/0000:04:01.0/video4linux/video0 [lots of output about rules being read and actions done] -- Neil Bothwick Quality control, n.: Assuring that the quality of a product does not get out of hand and add to the cost of its manufacture or design.
