I'd guess your udev setup is incompatible with 3.7.* so let's start with the usual: What is your kernel config for the various TMPFS settings in the kernel? (grep TMPFS in .config) What mount options apply to /dev? Contents of /etc/fstab? USE flags that apply to udev? -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckinnon@gmail.com
