It seems a bit strange to me that an older version of 50-udev.rules would only contain one line. (I just looked at this file for Lenny, udev 0.125-7+lenny3; it has 108 lines.)

I am glad to hear that the problem is solved. It might be a good idea to check if you have other duplicate rules files on your system. The following bash one-liner should list all files in /etc/udev/rules.d/ that also exist in /lib/udev/rules.d/: for FILE in /etc/udev/rules.d/*; do [[ -a /lib/udev/rules.d/${FILE##*/} ]] && echo $FILE; done -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
