I'm pretty sure that udev is a requirement for running Xen .. so you should have it installed. Check if it is running by executing this command: ps -ef | grep udev If it is you'll see something like: skx@lappy:~$ ps -ef | grep udev root 1063 1 0 13:13 ? 00:00:00 udevd --daemon skx 5145 5120 0 17:24 pts/1 00:00:00 grep udev (The first line "udevd --daemon" shows it is there.) You can see if the package is installed by running "dpkg --list udev". (The first column should show "ii" if it is installed.) If it is running, and installed, then look at the file /etc/udev/permissions.rules for me this contains the following: KERNEL=="null", MODE="0666" Here 666 is the permission for the /dev/null device, rather than the 660 you appear to have. Change it to match and restart it with "/etc/init.d/udev restart" Steve -- Debian GNU/Linux System Administration http://www.debian-administration.org/
