Not likely to happen during installation, but if you use udev, the device nodes may not exist in your backups (depending upon how you do your backups...). So a restore of a backup of your root filesystem from a crash recovery or live CD may not restore any device nodes to your root filesystem. Anyway, ignore my message...I didn't quite understand that the problem was resolved. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
