    FWIW In the udev 058 announcement, Greg said:

    "Note, if you are running a kernel newer than 2.6.12-rc4 (including the
    -mm releases) and you have any custom udev rules, you MUST upgrade to
    the latest version to allow udev to work properly. This change happened
    because of a previously-unrealized reliance in libsysfs on the presence
    of a useless sysfs file that has recently been removed. Hopefully the
    libsysfs people will be releasing a new version shortly with this change
    in it for those packages who rely on it."

    Just a reminder because I bet many people will get caught out by this!
