Mikkel:
Modified, or added a local rule set. (Or had an extra rule set left from an upgrade...)
This was a fresh install (formated the disk).
These rules just set permissions. There are other rules as well. # Persistent block device stuff: KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]|sr*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="", IMPORT{program}="/lib/udev/usb_id -x" And all the SCSI device rules as well. Because USB storage devices are handled as SCSI devices.
Here are all of the sd* lines from the # by-id section (the only other lines are hd*): KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]|sr*", SYSFS{ieee1394_id}=="*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}="$sysfs{ieee1394_id}", ENV{ID_BUS}="ieee1394" KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]|sr*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="", IMPORT{program}="/lib/udev/usb_id -x" KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]|sr*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="", IMPORT{program}="/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -x -s %p -d $tempnode" KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]|sr*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="", IMPORT{program}="/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -x -a -s %p -d $tempnode" KERNEL=="dasd*[!0-9]", IMPORT{program}="/lib/udev/dasd_id --export $tempnode" KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]|sr*|dasd*[!0-9]", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-id/$env{ID_BUS}-$env{ID_SERIAL}" There are some other sections: # for partitions import parent information KERNEL=="sd*[0-9]|dasd*[0-9]", IMPORT{parent}=="ID_*" KERNEL=="sd*[0-9]|dasd*[0-9]", ENV{ID_SERIAL}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-id/$env{ID_BUS}-$env{ID_SERIAL}-part%n" # by-path (shortest physical path) KERNEL=="*[!0-9]|sr*", ENV{ID_TYPE}=="?*", IMPORT{program}="/lib/udev/path_id %p", SYMLINK+="disk/by-path/$env{ID_PATH}" KERNEL=="sr*", GOTO="persistent_end" KERNEL=="*[0-9]", IMPORT{parent}=="ID_*" KERNEL=="*[0-9]", ENV{ID_PATH}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-path/$env{ID_PATH}-part%n" # by-label/by-uuid (filesystem properties) KERNEL=="*[!0-9]", SYSFS{removable}=="1", GOTO="persistent_end" IMPORT{program}="/lib/udev/vol_id --export $tempnode" ENV{ID_FS_UUID}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-uuid/$env{ID_FS_UUID}" ENV{ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE}=="?*", SYMLINK+="disk/by-label/$env{ID_FS_LABEL_SAFE}"
Then post the logs for this. From there, we will hopefully have enough information to post a good bug report.
That's a LOT for a maillist - here's a link to it (on my webspace): http://enter.net/~mpk2/udev-log.txt
