If they are built as modules, then I would expect the old naming convention to be retained - unless you had renamed them in a different order in your 70- something... rules. This is not all though. Check the page: http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Udev/upgrade You also need CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y in your kernel and if there is a /dev entry in your /etc/fstab, then it must have devtmpfs as its fs type. Most installations would not have such an entry in /etc/fstab - but better check to be safe. -- Regards, Mick
