I have serious problems with udev myself; default instal would not
create half of the devices half of the time. I'm now at the point of
disabling udev (append="UDEV_DISABLED=yes"). It still barks on startup
about files it cannot remove because of RO filesystem. Anyway, other
issue.
So I'm back to statuc device files, and I previously had event0 ..
event3. I have created the other ones til 31, and indeed pbbuttonsd
opens them all. But event4 ... event31 all report ENODEV.
I'm running 2.6.15. I might trz more recent, do you know a version that
does compile? I originally tried compiling 2.6.15-git6, but that didn't
compile.
Thanks, and cheers
Michel
