[gentoo-user] 3 Problems

[Paul Stear]

Hi all,
For some time now I have been getting errors on boot.
1.  This happens a number of times:-
udev-event [1777]:find_free_number: %e is deprecated, will be removed and is 
unlikely to work correctly. Don't use it
What does this mean and how do I fix it?
1.  etc/modules.devfs not automatically copied modules update forced
again what does this mean and hoe do I fix it?
3.  2 days ago, after and emerge update of a load of programs, my usb 
printer 
does not work, it seems that the usb device is not as shown on the cups 
setup.  So I have been into the kde print manager and selected usb #1 as the 
printer port but when I try to select the correct printer I get an error:-
Unable to start the creation of the driver database. The execution of 
make_driver_db_cups failed.
Any thoughts as to how to resolve this?

Well, there was a thread about this here some time ago (i get this
message too on all my boxes) ... The conclusion was: don't care about it
(gregkh, one of the autors of udev maintains the udev-ebuilds for gentoo
himself. i guess he knows what he is doing).
