This type of problem is being discussed on the Mandrake Cooker (dev
version) list. It also affects other things. The general feeling is that
one should use a test loop to check the presence of devices because
waiting does not guarantee that it is there.

For the moment I've fallen back to the "good old way" I'll wait 'till
udevs is really sorted out, or dropped like devfs :)
