"udevd ... Address family not supported by protocol", is your kernel config "CONFIG_UNIX" set to "m" or not configured?

Modern Genkernel rely on udev to trigger module loading, so if udevd not working kernel may not able detect what kind of rootdev is.

That was it!
I had it configured it as a ...

Hello,
I've been using genkernel for a lot of time but suddenly I got a strange behavior:

When system boots with initramfs, it will not auto load any modules, failing to mount root and presenting me with a console. If I do lsmod there, the list is empty. I have to manually modprobe ahci, sd_mod and ...

Try without using ccache.

Hello,
I don't think that's ccache related. I don't have it, yet I had similar issues trying to use crossdev for AVR.
I did an "ldd /usr/libexec/gcc/avr/as" after I saw biergaizi's post and I saw that it could not locate libopcodes-2.25.1.so and libbfd-2.25.1.so.

I ...

Solved.

Apparently the problem was that my /lib directory was not pointing to /lib64

Hibernation does need swap, but at least TuxOnIce can use swap files instead of partitions. In main kernels it may still be possible but with some tweaking.

Hi!
My provider uses OpenVZ and I chose Debian 6 64bit (no gentoo on choices).

No! This is not a real AP. There is no 11n-AP network in range, my other wifi card does not see it, and it just appears there always and immediately

So you're sure that PC cannot be damaged from Gentoo?

If it has survived Microsoft operating systems with the whole ecosystem of all kind of viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits etc, then I'm sure it's safe to use linux.

Now seriously, why would Linux damage your pc? It reminds me of some mothers ...

are you sure? I thought the hibernate state was written to
the hard disk.

Yes, this is the case. I wrote "IF that was the case", ie if it was a form of a deep sleep state, which is not.

It happened several months ago :-). Haven't installed Gentoo since then and I'm about to do it now :) - I was afraid Gentoo (or rather misconfiguration or misuse) could do that. It's only the shame, that Microsoft "equips" all of the laptops with unwanted software... I've paid for that windows. Eh ...

Hi!
I downloaded official drivers (rt2800usb does not support rt3573), deselected (and blacklisted) all ralink stuff in the kernel, compiled and installed.
I get an ra0 interface (and not a wlan0).

With iwconfig:

ra0 Ralink STA
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 ...

Okay. The last issue is somehow complicated.

There was Gentoo on this laptop once. It worked just fine for about 1,5 month. Then, something weird happened. Some day it failed to launch and I must have removed its battery to make it work again. A week have passed without any issues. Then, i ...

I' m interesting above all to understand.
Why it ask for two different versions of udev and udisk?
Is openrc in a level downer of udev and udisks? If yes how i have to decide?
I had always both these packets (udev and openrc) why now i have to choose? There is a news i don' t know?

udev is a ...

Can' t i have openrc end udev together?
Of course you can. You *must* have udev. Dashes in front of use flags mean that they are not yet enabled, not that they cannot be enabled.
Enable use flag "openrc" for udev (or globally) and the dash will become a plus in U column. You can re-emerge udev ...

Compiling a governor is not enough, you must have a userland utility to handle it. You can always compile ONLY conservative so no problem.
Package sys-power/cpufrequtils can help you find out your current governor and cpu clock. You can always look at the /sys tree if you are familiar.

Two versions you mean udisks 1.x and 2.x (1.99)? That's pretty normal, or at least acceptable.
Some programs use the later some the former version.

And when you see undefined symbols/references then you probably have to run "revdep-rebuild" from app-portage/gentoolkit

Hi,
I have a Cisco/Linksys AE3000 (13b1:003b) (chipset ralink 3573) 3x3 11n usb dongle.
Chipset is not supported by in-kernel rt2800usb yet.
Downloaded drivers from ralink, trying to compile them and get:
