I'm about to do the same with my other Gentoo machine. The only thing
the 2 machines have in common is that they both have SATA drives, so
I wonder if this is causing the new udev a problem.

I have just run 'emerge --update --deep --newuse world' on 2 of my
Gentoo machines as I do every few days. This upgraded my udev from
068-r1 to 070. Neither machine will now boot. I've been
investigating why on my server as it is most important that I get
this machine up and running ASAP.
During boot I get the following error:
/sbin/rc: line 93: 1062 Segmentation fault /sbin/udevstart
Then when it gets to checking root filesystem it reports /dev/sda3
is missing and drops me to a filesystem repair console.
Please can someone help. I urgently need to get this machine back up
and running.

I'm running dual SATA Raptors with udev 70, kernel 2.6.12-r10. Just
did a reboot to confirm that
I could. So it is possible.
Any info in dmesg? How far in the boot process do you get?

Both machines are now back up and running with udev-068-r1 so I can't
get the dmesg for when it went wrong at the moment. I'm running kernel
2.6.13-r4 on both machines but I tried booting with 2.6.13-r3 and
2.6.12-r10 and they made no difference. The drives in both machines are
Samsung Spinpoint SATA drives. This is the only thing the machines have
in common: The server is a P4 2.8 with Hyperthreading and therefore an
SMP kernel while the HTPC is an AMD64.
I will upgrade udev to 070 again on the HTPC and try to get the dmesg
for it a bit later on. The machines busy at the moment. When I do this,
is there any other information I can get from the logs etc that will help?
Cheers,
Dave.
