Hi,

there is a thread like this.. perhaps you could use the search function 
But after a fresh install you are using devfs

u can do "ps aux | grep udevd" and see if udevd is running.
u can also check if u have "/dev/.devfsd" exists (i might mistyped the name, cant test it since i have udev) or "/dev/.udevdb".

or you can just wait until you turn on your computer and look at the screen and it will says something like ' Loading devfs ' ' Loading udev '  ................ [DONE]
