Seeing as how udev implies udev-only (udev and devfs are mututally exclusive), I suspect many people have udev-only setups... The first time I tried moving to udev, it was nothing but headaches, so I switched back quite quickly. A few weeks ago, when I tried again, it seemed to work, so I'm now using a udev system... However, CD/DVD burning is an issue for me: One drive will burn only if cdrecord is *not* setuid root, the other will not burn at all. I do not use an initrd, so there's one major difference between your system and mine.

I have been trying to convert my system to using udev with no devfs but ran into brick walls booting with no devices. Just now I stopped at the initrd stage and had a good look at what /linuxrc was doing and when it invokes the /bin/udev program it's segfaulting.. which would explain all my problems trying to follow what little documented procedures I could find. Is anyone else successfully using a udev-only system on amd64 or is this a general/amd64 wide issue (and not just for me) ? I use exclusively udev systems on all my systems, amd64 and x86. I've had no problems at all, except the first time when I tried to migrate from devfs to udev. All my pure udev installs have workes flawlessly. Plus, it works better with things like Gnome Volume Manager that devfs does. Daniel -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-amd64] udev vs devfs
ftp://amiga.junc.org/gentoo/msgs how to solve most of the problems there ? i have tryed, but gave up for now :( my sata disk are working, but i like to know if its normal that when fsck is done there is no console output like it is from ide disks ? i don't see any other fails there on the sata but the other problems in the logs will be nice to have solved if its imposible for me to solve it i get a new opteron anyway since i still love it :-) -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
