Well, I guess I should learn to read every thread that sounds even close to
relevant... <sigh>. There was a recent thread on upgrading to 2.6.9, in
which someone asserted that udev should be upgraded as well. To be fair,
though, 2.6.7 was(is?) an option for Slack10, and since Pat uses vanilla
kernels, the one I have (from kernel.org) should work fine with the included
udev.

So, for the benefit of anyone reading this particular thread: upgrade your
kernel, upgrade udev as well, or so others have said.

Thanks again...
