 |
|
Hi guys. I have a problem with my gentoo. After I updated my installation, it shows me error when I am booting.
| Code: | start-stop-daemon: /sbin/udevd does not exist
Failed to start udev
ERROR: udev failed to start |
What to do ? I tried revdep-rebuild but nothing happen :/
Thanks for help

run etc-update or dispatch-conf to update you config.
if you did that, and discarded all changes (which is a bad idea), then rebuilding udev might be a solution.
In either case, you have to boot from livecd to get the system working again.
if you need more detailed instruction, please provide you current partition layout.

I know this commands and I thought that it can be a solution but I didn't use it because there is 37 files to update and I really don't know when to use which function. I can write list of them if you want.
And my partition layout is:
| Code: | 100MB /dev/sda1 ntfs no boot point - windows boot menu
180GB /dev/sda2 ntfs /media/Windows
64MB /dev/sda3 ext2 /boot
70GB /dev/sda4 reiserfs /
500GB /dev/sdb1 ntfs /media/Data |
I can write detailed info about it but now I am on my laptop.
Thanks for help

you have a (comparably) simple setup - this will make things easy.
in a nutshell, boot you livecd, mount the system, chroot into it, fix whatever is wrong, reboot to real system.
| Code: | mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/gentoo/
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc |
| Code: | chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update |
for the fixing part itself:
* if it is an init script (/etc/init.d/somthing) then it is safe to upgrade.
* if you have not changed the file previously, or do not know what it does, then it is safe to upgrade.
IIRC, there will some few leftover where you should have a closer look, and merge the changes properly.
If I am not entirely mistaken, you can wait with those few till after the reboot.

As you have discovered, rebooting without processing the pending updates can lead to an unusable system. If you are unsure how to handle pending updates, ask us for help before you reboot so that you can repair without resorting to a LiveCD. |

I think it's recommended to use dispatch-conf over etc-update (if not, at least _I_ humbly recommend it). dispatch-conf can auto-update unchanged files, files where there are only comments or blanks modifications, etc. Just check /etc/dispatch-conf.conf
