I see that 073 is in unstable, which fixed a lot of problems with 071, 072 and 073 due to Debian configuration issues. I suggest you try that. > I can try again with stock udev from kernel.org, No, stick with the debian packages, due to the wierd packaging and init issues that Debian has. I wouldn't recommend using the kernel.org udev packages for anyone on their own these days, they are what the distros use to package from, and they know best, due to the different ways the init process works in different distros.
