[gentoo-user] No connection to the internet after update of today
Greetings, after 'emerge --sync' followed by 'emerge -uDN world' i have no longer a connection to the internet. At the moment i am using an older Gentoo on another partition of the same machine. The real Gentoo is mounted and i can access it to answer questions. I have now udev-197 which told me - elog - Messages generated by process 26926 on 2013-01-20 14:55:23 CET for package sys-fs/udev-197-r3: ERROR: setup DEVTMPFS is not set in this kernel.

What to do? Tell us more about how you connect to the internet. Most people here will be using an ethernet network in which eth0 is wired to a router. I have not used ppp since I disposed of my 56k pew-pew-eep-eep dial-up modem. If you're using PPPoE then you need to tell us about it, not assume we can read your mind. Stroller.
