I have to manually set the group permission for /dev/kqemu by doing:
# chown root:qemu /dev/kqemu

I thought udev file would do the above for me automatically.


all my steps for slackware64 13.0:
1. I did SlackBuilds for qemu and kqemu, these were gotten from slackbuilds.org
2. manually created file and edited /etc/udev/rules.d/50-kqemu-rules to contain
KERNEL=="kqemu", NAME="%k", MODE="0660", GROUP="qemu"
3. at the bottom of file /etc/rc.d/rc.modules, added
/sbin/modprobe kqemu major=0
4. created "qemu" group and added my user to "qemu" group
# groupadd qemu
# gpasswd -a myuser qemu
5. reboot


/dev/kqemu still comes up wrong
# ls -l /dev/kqemu
crw-rw---- 1 root root 10, 57 2009-09-25 09:59 /dev/kqemu


Is something wrong with my udev file or how I created it?


note: after manually changing group ownership for /dev/kqemu to "qemu", I can run qemu fine.

Well, I got it to work, but don't know why it worked.


I renamed the udev riles file to another name.
# mv /etc/udev/rules.d/50-kqemu-rules /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules

bash-3.1$ ls -l /dev/kqemu
crw-rw---- 1 root qemu 10, 57 2009-09-28 01:24 /dev/kqemu



I assume it's somehow related to this:
