business so i have quite a bit more around.

bizarre! can you remember if, as a result of recompiling and
installing the util-linux packages, initrds were regenerated at all?
(it's done in a postinst hook somewhere)

ohh, you are so lucky! can i add you to the list of successes?

no i'm not - it just... the entire system froze on me at checking the
udev entries. but, at the time, i didn't have makedev installed.

well... there may be hope then that i can actually get udev back up
and running. this would be good as sound is not coming out of the
speakers at the moment. volume's set, etc. etc. - just.... no sound.
