Enabling SPI in Userspace failed

I tried to enable SPI in Userspace using the procedure described on the site with the following results:

danny@danny-ODYSSEY-X86J4105:~/Downloads/spi-enable$ sudo acpi-add spidev*
-- generating spidev1.0.asl
-- generating spidev1.1.asl
Added 2 asl files
Update initramfs...

I: Set the RESUME variable to override this.

danny@danny-ODYSSEY-X86J4105:~/Downloads/spi-enable$ sudo ls /dev/spi*
ls: cannot access '/dev/spi*': **No such file or directory**

Apparently the SPI devices are not created in the /dev directory. Any advice how to proceed?

Sorry but I just discovered that SPI is working after reboot. If everything else fails use the manuals :expressionless:
