 |
|
hi all,
I'm updating/rebuilding restored system and having problem w/ udev.
Specifically, this message appears on startup:
| Quote: | the gentoo linux system initialization scripts have detected that your system does not support UDEV
|
Additionally the "broken" command ("/etc/init.d/udev broken") outputs "sysfs"
context:
-After the restore, I updated to gentoo-sources-3.1.5
-I have recently merged udev-171-r4
-The emerge process complained that I had CONFIG_IDDE and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_BSG set wrong, so I changed those and recompiled my kernel
-I have successfully 'emerged system"
-I have *not* successfully emerged world: it stops at 159 of 382 or sorts due to various problem (e.g. problem emerging "nss")
Any pointers?
thanks |

billmil,
[ ] Enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace tools
must be off in your kernel or udev breaks.

fwiw, this is set correctly...(blanked out):
[] Enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace too...
.config has these values:
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
#CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set |

It seems you've failed to update your system properly, either failed to run etc-update before reboot or failed to update both openrc and baselayout. If I'm looking at the correct tarball, your message comes from baselayout 1, which has been superseded by openrc+baselayout 2 awhile ago.
 Long delayed updates are quite tricky, aren't they ? |

VoidMage,
I was hoping to avoid the 'long delayed updates' option and cover the easy one first :)
