We've found the real device nodes. I believe devfs or udev is moving the real device nodes to /dev/.static so the dynamically populated /dev doesn't appear so cluttered.Are you using udev or devfs? Whatever you're using, is it fully up to date? It might help if you reinstall whatever your using via "apt-get install --reinstall <udev or devfs>"
Some debian dependency must have uninstalled it as: ChatagnierL-Home:/usr/share/sounds# dpkg -l | grep udev ii udev 0.056-1 /dev/ management daemon ChatagnierL-Home:/usr/share/sounds# dpkg -l | grep devfs ChatagnierL-Home:/usr/share/sounds# apt-get -s install devfsd Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: devfsd 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. I'll reinstall udev as suggested and rerun alsaconf before reporting back.
This layering is really a fallback. When udev / devfs shut down, they copy the .static directory back contents to where udev / devfs found it, so you're not without the device nodes you need during shutdown / boot up / whatever emergency situation.This layering is so confusing to me. Do I make the ln -s dsp "to one of these"? Right now, I'm not sure what the next step should be. Will waite on a reply before doing anything.[snip] JustinThanks,
