I'm seeing the same problem, except that I just updated from FC-6
Comment 2 Sammy 2007-08-17 13:43:30 UTC 
This is because of latest udev update udev-113-10.fc7 a fixed version
should be coming hopefully today.
Comment 3 Bukovansky Richard 2007-08-17 21:28:47 UTC 
Yes, I've got update to udev (udev-113-11.fc7) and the problem is solved. Bug 
can be closed. Thank you.
