Hi,
i put RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no"(permanently) a long time ago, had no problems.
Now checked and currently it's set to "yes" but this is due to the fact
i had do a complete reinstall a week ago (dying hard on it's way).
IIRC when it is set to "no" udev creates all necessary nodes, you only
have to put your own rules to support new/exotic hardware.
Now will cp the tarball somewhere for backup and change to 'no'.
