 |
|
I am using the latest sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.8-r1. But I had to manually create /sys, which is required by the latest 2.5.* kernels. I only knew to create it after I happened to see an error message while booting.

Ummm...
I use 2.5.70 and do not have a /sys directory so your assumption is not correct.

I had to create mine manually. Try creating it and seeing what is inside after your next reboot.

You don't have to reboot. Just mount it.
mount -t sysfs none /sys
It will be mounted automagically on the next boot though.
I suppose the reason it's not in baselayout is that this is needed only for development kernels, which means it would be useless (and confusing) to most users. A note could be added to the development-sources and mm-sources ebuilds though.
