I'm still stumped why the /dev/hd* devices are no longer available to /etc/init.d/checkroot.

Hi Paul

I had the same problem and discovered that the devfsd startup scripts

/lib/rcscripts/addons/devfs-start.sh
/lib/rcscripts/addons/devfs-stop.sh

were simply gone, so I copied them from another system, whilst booted from the LiveCD, and that fixed the broken devfs.

After rebooting I upgraded sys-fs/devfsd-1.3.25-r8 to sys-fs/ devfsd-1.3.25-r9 and this officially reinstated the missing devfs startup scripts.

I am not sure what broken package deleted these somewhat critical startup scripts: presumably they were either missed out of sys-fs/ devfsd-1.3.25-r8 or sys-fs/udev was being rather aggressive?

Cheers

Keith
