I am somewhat surprised to find so many devices in /dev when using udev (on Sid): % ls /dev|wc -l 662
I use udev with Sarge, and I get: $ ls /dev |wc -l 155
More than 600 entries in /dev is hardly the lean mean /dev promised by udev... Under other Linux distros I've ended up with _far_fewer_ devices. Are all devices in /dev created by udev under Debian, or is there some other tool that creates additional ones? How can I get rid of the ones I don't need?
Did you delete the old /dev directory? Maybe udev keeps what's already there.
