Do you mean /dev/snd/pcm? Either way, NOT good.
Yes.
* /etc/udev/rules.d is empty
This is expected; have you ever placed anything there yourself before?
No.
Do you know about the the rc.conf changes WRT (1) blacklisting modules and (2) time?
Yes.
Or, was the last time you updated before this, quite a while back?
According to pacman.log it seems the last full update was in March.
I understand getting the RME to work initially was no trouble, and just the standard alsa installation (and the driver gets loaded automatically)?
Yes, never had any problem with it. It seems I have *two* machines having this problem, both updated yesterday. I didn't test the audio on the first one as everything seemed to be OK. The second one was actually updated using pacserve, with only a few packages coming from the mirror, the rest being provided by the first updated machine. Also this went so smoothly that I forgot to mention it. Today, on both machines, the 'missing file' errors from udev have disappeared. But you'll find yesterday's ones, rc.conf, pacman.log and fstab here: <http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/archinfo.tar.bz2>. Use wget, there are no links to this. Ciao, -- FA
