I had this problem (or a similar one) recently and my problem was udevd
had stopped/crashed/wasn't running.
Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it. But as far as I can see, udevd is not
listed under services, nor is running by default (this was a clean install of
F7). But anyway, tommorow I'll find some time to read the man page.
Best, :-)
