This should tell you the name of the RPM which "owns" dev. You can then re-install it (if you have it). You can probably find it using rpm.pbone.net if you have to. I'm pretty sure that the script named MAKEDEV or MAKEDEVS is what actually generates the devices in /dev/

Ok. Thanks for the advice!

$ rpm -qf /dev
dev-3.3.13-1
$ locate dev-3.3.13-1
[empty]

rpm.pbone.net turned up

ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/fedoralegacy/fedora/2/os/i386/dev-3.3.13-1.i386.rpm

Which I have downloaded. So now I do

# rpm -i --force

Followed by

# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV
