It was late 2004, hotplug was working happily with my Palm PDA for USB syncing, and my ieee1394 port was joyously capturing video from my DV camera. Then udev came along with a routine apt-get upgrade. Neither has worked since.
Is there nothing I can do to have udev create device nodes for /dev/raw1394 and /dev/pilot?
I've tried writing udev rules like:
Code:
KERNEL="raw1394", NAME="%k", GROUP="users"
KERNEL="dv1394*", NAME="dv1394/%n", GROUP="users"
KERNEL="video1394*", NAME="video1394/%n", GROUP="users"
but to no avail.
I'm using Debian unstable, kernel 2.6.11-1, and the latest available versions of everyting else.
When plugging in my ieee1394 device dmesg says:
Code:
ieee1394: raw1394: /dev/raw1394 device initialized
but of course the device node hasn't actually been created at all.
It was awfully nice of udev to blindly delete the device nodes I had created without prompting, and then refuse to ever create them again. I might have appreciated the install script detecting existing nodes and writing the necessary rules itself rather than breaking my system.
Anyone had any joy? Anyone care to pass me a hammer?
