Question Cause of "Attribute /sys/devices/pci [...] type does not exist"?


Does anyone know what is the root cause of a "/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.4/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/host3/target3:0:0/3:0:0:0/type does not exist" error?

Googled almost an hour on this but saw few mentions of this error - and no indication of where it could come from.

In my case this is preventing me from writing a udev rule for this USB drive - because indeed this file doesn't exist. As a matter of fact, /sys is entirely empty!

Did I screw up something and should I re-install some package?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

DETAILS:

Where the error shows up:

Code:
# tail /var/log/messages
