Got it. Realizing that I got a new baselayout, that things heavily
changed in udev AND things heavily changed in the kernel as of versoon
2.6.13 I decided to upgrade the kernel.

I've chosen 2.6.15 and averything works again (after a ``no | make
oldconfig'').

I'd assume that the newer baselayout(s) aren't compatible with kernels
older than 2.6.13 anymore. I'll not explore that. Maybe someone knows
that beter than me.

Right, RTFM will lead to success in every case but it't annoying to do
this again and again and again.

Right too, I could leave the comp as it is but if I try to install a new
tool (yes I'm still in this phase) I'll have to upgrade anyway. After a
month without internet connection I got about 30 packages to upgrade.
For now I'll upgrade rather often to hold this number low.
