I think I have it: The file /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules is the same as the one in the udev-103 archive - whereas the 50-udev.rules is different (i.e guess older). So somehow in the udev-103 update the old file got left there... So I've renamed udev.rules to 50-udev.rules and everything looks good (no warnings, everything coming up ok). So somewhere along the way, either I forgot to run etc-update when needed or there was a bug in the udev update process at some point... cheers Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
