I've heard something about sysfs format changes requiring a new udev -
perhaps you could try installing the udev in sid, if you've got an
older version installed? Note that this new udev will not work with
kernels older than 2.6.12, so if you downgrade the kernel you'll need
to downgrade udev as well.
