It's probably udev. I had similar issues after an upgrade. Then another
upgrade and my system was not loading device modules like it should have.
I believe what I did was replace the files that were removed in
/etc/udev/rules.d. These, I suppose, were moved to /lib/udev/rules.d but
for some reason, until I put them back in /etc/udev/rules.d, I could not
get things working.
There was a bug report for this.

Thanks for the tip. Have run a few searches using those parameters for info, and saw several related bug reports, but no fixes.
Looking in my own /etc/udev/rules.d/:
$ ls /etc/udev/rules.d/
025_libchipcard.rules libnjb.rules
025_libgphoto2.rules z60_alsa-utils.rules
025_logitechmouse.rules z60_hdparm.rules
65_dmsetup.rules z60_kpartx.rules
70-persistent-cd.rules z60_libpisock9.rules
70-persistent-net.rules z60_libsane-extras.rules
85_dmraid.rules z60_libsane.rules
85-usb-hd-fix.rules z60_xserver-xorg-input-wacom.rules
libmtp8.rules
and looking at a couple of these individual files a little closer, I won't proceed into doing something that I don't understand, because I'm bound to make a mistake somewhere!
So, are there any known fixes yet - or simply wait for upstream developers?
Copied to list for archiving.
