 |
|
Hi, ALL,
Iam not sure if this should go to this forum or the one with the kernel. If it's not for this one, don't hit me too hard....
I successfully performed an install from Gentoo 2005.0 CD using the archives from 2006.0. However, after re-booting, I am receiving following message:
| Code: |
udevd_event[1170]:find_free_number: %e is deprecated, will be removed and is unlikely to work correctly. Don't use it
|
Is it possible to get rid of this message somehow?
Thank you.[/code] |

Hi I don't think anyone will hit you hard for anything here, don't worry. 
I am not an expert but I know that this message is no reason to worry. Just forget about. I do suspect however that it is not easy to get rid of, because I know that on a debian install this message also appears when booting and I'd definitely suspect that they would get rid of it in a binary distribution since they usually have the means to tailor everything a little more. Just forget about it i'd say.
PS: Why did you use a Gentoo 2005.0 Cd and 2006.0 Archives? Both are availlable for 2006.1. I mean there's nothing wrong with that, just curious if you have a particular reason |

OK, this is good to know.
A for the reasoning:
the 2006.1 does not have a i586 stage, so it's a "no-go". And when I tried to boot-up with the 2006.0, I couldn't get past "Unzipping gentoo.igz", then the PC would re-boot.
So, the only thing was to perform an 2005.0 install with the 2006.0 files...
Thank you. |

| Now that's more of a problem, did you file a bug or at least post it somewhere on the forum? Or is this a known issue already? |

ONEEYEMAN "Is it possible to get rid of this message somehow?"
davelet in http://www.mepislovers.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=16787 shows how to change the udev rules to get rid of this message
In another message in these forums, a poster explained that %e had been marked "deprecated" by the upstream developers who hadn't yet agreed on what (if anything) was to take its place.
Other comments:

| Quote: | The enumeration format character '%e' is deprecated and will be
removed sometimes from a future udev version. It never worked correctly
outside of udevstart, so we can't use it with the new parallel
coldplug. A simple enumeration is as useless as the devfs naming
scheme, just get rid of both if you still use it. |

| Quote: | These things are deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future
udev version:
- o remove broken %e enumeration
- (simple enumerations can't work reliably and should go)
-
o remove udevstart
(we rely on the kernel "uevent" triggers of kernel 2.6.15 and no longer
want to guess event properties from sysfs like udevstart is doing it) |
Do you think wikipedia would be glad of an entry on this subject?
