I checked that mysql is running, and it is, I checked mythbacked. The only discrepancy I can find is the existence of /dev/video0... Question one: You using baselayout 2 or 1? I ran into this the other day and I just recompiled a new kernel with the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED option disabled. It's under the General Setup screen as: Create deprecated sysfs layout for older userspace tools I'm pretty sure that is it. After you disable that and reboot, everything should go back to normal. I don't have MythTV or anything so I hope everything will go back to normal on that too. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-)

I saw a message that said something about some kernel option that was turned on that shouldn't be, and that udev might not work. I found it in /var/log/messages.

I also had this message for maybe a week before I rebuilt the kernel (same way as you). The only difference I noticed was that the error message went away, but maybe it had some effect on your hardware? ~daid

The only difference I noticed was that the error message went away, but maybe it had some effect on your hardware? ~daid Since I hadn't rebooted in a while, I don't know what changed on mine either. It appears udev was still working tho. I noticed this when I went to single user and typed in the wrong process number and killed udev. I restarted it and got the error the OP got. I figured I would fix it while I was already that close to a shutdown anyway. I suspect tho that MythTV sort of complicates things by needing udev to create things not needed on a system without MythTV. For the record OP, if you are on baselayout-1, you can start udev by typing in /sbin/udevd --daemon. I'm pretty sure you have to be root to do that tho. Dale :-) :-)
