parsing of udev rules is a problem

[baitas]

Well, I have finally been forced to upgrade my kernel to 2.6.15, that means pure udev! My old kernel was a pure devs....

A strange thing is keeping me away from 2.6.15.

In /etc/udev/udev.conf

if you read
udev_rules="/etc/udev/rules.d/"

The system will hang during boot while running udevstart. If I try tu run it by hand, the problem still exists

but if you read
udev_rules="/etc/udev/rules.d/*"

The system will boot, run udev, but the permissions of the device files are all wrong, rendering my system unuseable (as a regular user).

The strange thing is that after boot, if I remove the * from udev_rules, delete the devices and rerun udevstart, all devices are created as expected with the right permissions!

Anyone has any suggestions?

If it matters:

Tried with udev versions 070, and 077-r2

running baselayout-1.11.13-r1

Any more info can be provided on request, but I need help here, I am at a total loss!
