|
|
I did an emerge -uD world and now have the following problem
My system still boots but udevd fails to start. From searching on this forum I have found that I need to set CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED in my kernel. So I compiled a new kernel, but then I wanted to mount /boot and got the error that /dev/sda1 doesn't exit. Is there any way to mount my boot partition so I can copy my new kernel? I can still compile things, but I can't start net.eth0.
BTW this is on a tiny Acer Aspire One netbook, running stable x86. It's the first time in 8 years of Gentoo that I think I have f*cked my system... _________________ Cuore Sportivo |

AlfaGTV,
Heh, /dev/sda1 doesn't exist because udev failed to run, so its not been created.
You can try to manually create the device node. /dev/sda1 should look like
Code: | $ ls -l /dev/sda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Apr 16 13:50 /dev/sda1 |
The format of the command is Code: | mknod [OPTION]... NAME TYPE [MAJOR MINOR] |
so Code: | mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
chown root:disk /dev/sda1
chmod 660 /dev/sda1 | will make the node and set the ownership and permissions as expected. _________________ Regards,

Thank you
I was able to mount my boot partition and install a new kernel unfortunately udev still doesn't start I'm going to search the forum a bit more to find some answers. _________________ Cuore Sportivo |

AlfaGTV,
Are you sure the new kernel booted?
Look at the build date and time in _________________ Regards,

AlfaGTV,
As you use baselayout2, is udev in the sysinit runlevel?
Its no longer started by the init script. _________________ Regards,

Yep udev is in sysinit runlevel. Well it was, I just downgraded udev and baselayout and everything works. I'm going to try and upgrade in a couple of weeks, I'm leaving on a short vacation on sunday. No time to play with it
