Finally I gave up: I actually noticed this after I upgraded my udev. Fortunately, I didn't reboot! I checked out my /dev directory and noticed that null was a regular file and there wasn't a heckuva lot in there. I ran /sbin/udevstart and it recreated everything and life was good. When I rebooted later things came up with no problems. -- David Hollis <dhollis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
