It's been awhile since I've done this, but I remember needing to emerge coldplug as well as hotplug for the change.

I followed the kernel migration guide posted on-line. Upon reboot with the 2.6.14-hardened-r3 kernel it failed because it could not find any devices. After poking around a bit on the forum I did see posts about altering fstab to use different device names like /dev/discs/disc0/part2 /boot ext3 /dev/discs/disc0/part3 none swap etc in place of /dev/sda2 /boot ext3 /dev/sda3 none swap etc Those changes allowed me to at least boot up. I did remove devfs after installing udev. I see now the migration guide is silent about removing devfs. Was removing it incorrect? The server was up to date before I tried the migration. Both system and world were updated. Other forum postings indicated to be sure HOT_PLUGGING was enabled in the kernel. It was. In the 2.6.14 kernels it seems to be set to Y automatically and you can not set it to N. in /etc/conf.d/rc RC_DEVICES="auto" After spending most of Saturday working on this I finally reverted to 2.4.32-hardened-r2 and emerged devfs again. My "regular" device names reappeared again. So what's the secret to udev? --Karl -- [email protected] mailing list -- [email protected] mailing list
