So, should I upgrade unstable now, or will that break it?

Yes. As long as you are not using
a 2.6.x kernel.
If you are using a 2.6.x kernel, remove UDEV.
Manually create the devices you might need for the devices you have, unless you already have them.

Ok, since building devices by hand is a little beyond me ...
I guess I'll wait until the borkage is fixed, or get on jabber if I have time tonight. Thanks.

Wait till he gets onto Jabber.
You can tell him how to do it directly, inbetween his fits of idling.

MAKEDEV doesn't know:

With UDEV, MAKEDEV it is DUMB as a box of ROCKS.
It write to the disk rather than the UDEV Filesystem ontop of it.
Or someone on one of the Debian lists likes to point out using MAKEDEV on a UDEV Filesystem should just delete all devices. And force a reboot or disaster or both.
MAKEDEV in Debian is supposed to know about UDEV and refuse to make any.

The fact that I have *no clue* what you're talking about ...
... proves to me I shouldn't try it myself.

One word of caution.
$EDITOR /var/lib/dpkg/info/console-data.config Comment out lines: 1045, 1070 (bareword previous_module; when using strict_subs) That will take care of any problem you will experience, with 3 packages being unconfigured. HTH!

No, I just did...
a second update for the day as I saw a bug I was going to report was fixed and this one showed up.
I gave you the answer... for the fix.
Run along little boy, go whine to your mama. Or on Jabber.
