Baselayout 2 ? [solved]

[eXess]

Hi there,

Strange thing here.
I updated UDEV, which gave me a standard warning about the fact it should be used only with kernel 2.6.27+
ok, my kernel is 2.6.31 :

Code: Select all

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease
2.6.31-gentoo-r6

However...

Code: Select all

# /etc/init.d/udev restart
 * The udev init-script is written for baselayout-2!
 * Please do not use it with baselayout-1!.

(btw, good thing I didn't just try to reboot the machine !!!)
How come I don't have Baselayout 2+ ? I just did an emerge -u world ?!
And though...

Code: Select all

# emerge -up baselayout

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

# emerge -p baselayout

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/baselayout-1.12.13 

Uh? No newer baselayout ? Not even a message saying all packages are masked ?

Can someone please help me? I'm a bit lost, and the machine will eventually have to be turned off (I need to relocate it and my guess is that without a power cord, it won't stay up...)... Thanks in advance.

Masked by ~arch, as you can see.

Eeew... Am I fried ?
I mean, if I restart my bow now, will Udev throw an error ?
And if so, how come it was installed and updated when I did an emerge -auDv world ?

What version of udev do you currently have installed?

Remove the udev init script from any runlevel if you do not intend to use baslayout2 but the stable baselayout1. You won't need it.

Eg. rc-update del udev <runlevel>

[eXess]

udev-postmount was removed from runlevel default.
But I'm not the one who added it there !

I can clearly remember that udev was once updated in such a way that it became active on my system. I did not explicitely add it to any runlevel. I only do emerge -auDv world and I don't clearly know how to use it. What should I be afraid of, when udev is installed but not activated at boot time?

[sera]

udev-postmount is a different init script than udev. Please readd udev-postmount, it's supposed to be running.

[eXess]

All right. Re-added udev-postmount to runlevel default.
But I really don't get much in here
I guess that should be it, as there is no other udev script in any runlevel...

There are the following udev related init scripts:

Code: Select all

ls /etc/init.d/udev*
/etc/init.d/udev  /etc/init.d/udev-dev-tarball  /etc/init.d/udev-mount  /etc/init.d/udev-postmount

Your kernel might use a legacy proc / sys layout which causes the warning at boot time.
If in doubt grep /use/src/linux/.config for CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED. It should be disabled this days.

If all you have seen is a message when installing udev you should be fine with the current settings.

Don't worry, baselayout-1 starts udev through /lib/rcscripts/addons/udev-start.sh

The init script is really only for baselayout-2/openrc

ok thanks... I was afraid to do something stupid.
Thanks everyone for helping me out
