Are you running udev? If so, could be a number of things. First if you're using the tar file (specified in /etc/conf.d/rc) the /dev node might be disappearing (to fix I think you need to remake the dev node and rebuild the tar file). Other problems here with udev is the lack of an appropriate rule for the device creation... Other possibilities are that if you're using kernel mods for the ppp support, I know my devices don't get created until the module has been loaded (at which point the devices appear). You might have some module issues on your end. Sorry can't be of more help... Dave -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
