RE: Missing /dev/dsp and /dev/mixer

Hotplug is purged. Although there are hotplug files that seemed to have
come with the kernel and/or udev.

I'm not sure which release notes you are referring to.

Everything has been upgraded and is working. Even the audio cards if I
create the /dev links.

Also, keep in mind that udevd will create the links if I start it
manually, which might seem to indicate that something is not executing
in the right order at boot time.

I upgraded from sarge to etch (2.6.18-6) and cannot get udev to create
/dev/dsp or /dev/mixer. If I "cp -a /dev/.static/dev/dsp* /dev",
everything works fine until I reboot and then they are gone again.

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base seems to do the modprobe on snd-pcm-oss as
everyone has suggested. Snd_pcc_oss is listed in /proc/modules.

I have tried installing the oss-compat package with no change.

If I "/etc/init.d/udev stop", then wait a few seconds and do
"/etc/init.d/udev start", they will then appear
However, "/etc/init.d/udev restart" will not.

Just to make sure: Did you purge the hotplug package after the upgrade?
Did you follow the step-by-step upgrade procedure as given in the
release notes? Is the upgrade complete?
