    udev is new in FC3. It doesn't create your specific devices at a boot time
    because it hasn't been told to do so.

    The way to deal with it is described here :
    http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/

    Copying the device files to /etc/udev/devices/ should work. Perhaps you may
    need to set correct permissions in /etc/udev/permissions

    Regards,
    Marcel
