Hi all,

I just upgraded my alphastation DS10 to sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.35-r5. When I rebooted, I got the following error when starting udev:

udevd[130]: inotify_init failed: Function not implemented
error initializing inotify
udevd[130]: error initializing inotify
No /sbin/udevd running; none killed.

After that fsck fails to find my root partition because /dev/ hasn't been populated.

I've checked and I do have all of the FSNOTIFY, DNOTIFY, and INOTIFY set to "y" in my kernel config. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Perhaps you've not disabled CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2?

nope, CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 is not set. Are you running sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.35-r5 on alpha without problems?

Make sure you have =linux-headers-2.6.33 AND =glibc-2.11.2. If you have those, rebuild glibc. Should work after that.
