   Thanks Andy. I'm not using udev at the moment, but your explanation 
makes perfect sense. Do you know approximately which kernel version 
those changes started to appear? I have a friend I was comparing 
configurations with, and he's running 2.6.24 (mythbuntu system) without 
udev also, just standard major-minors. I wonder if his next kernel 
upgrade will cause the same problems!

   I'll switch to udev and give it another go.

   Thank you!
