[gentoo-user] Udev-197 : 4 show-stoppers
I just tried upgrading to udev-197 , which is supposed to be stable. There were multiple problems I'm now back with udev-171 . (1) Setting system clock using HW clock; can't access HW clock. (2) Mounting local filesystems; mount point /dev/shm doesn't exist. (3) 'startx' : no mouse or keys. (4) 'dhcpcd' hangs. I tried revdep-rebuild , recompiled util-linux kdelibs mesa xf86-input-evdev xorg-server , recompiled glibc nvidia-drivers , recompiled the kernel (3.5.3) to enable DEVTMPFS , checked 'news' (nothing relevant), checked my archive of gentoo-user msgs (nothing relevant), rebooted many times between all these efforts. Has anyone else encountered anything like this ? Does anyone have any advice ? -- ,, SUPPORT ___//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT`-O--O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca

The ebuild for udev 197 moved the default installation of rules from
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d to /lib/udev/rules.d, and it also dropped the
0001-udev-add-lib-udev-rules.d-to-rules-directories.patch patch, which
allowed udev to scan for rules in both directories.
Therefore, for all the programs that installed rules in
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d before the update, those rules cannot be found
for the new udev. We had a discussion about that some days ago,
several people posted different commands to detect programs that
installed rules in the old dir, so you can reinstall them and their
rules move to the right directory. The slow way is to look at the
files in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d, do a equery b ${file}, reinstall
that package, and repeat until /usr/lib/udev/rules.d is empty.
Hope it helps.
Regards.

Has anyone else encountered anything like this ? Does anyone have any advice ? just migrated to sys-fs/udev-197 - everything went smoothly and seems to work. the only observation at this time is absence of device file /dev/root whilst both /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts are referring to that device node: # grep root /etc/mtab /proc/mounts /etc/mtab:/dev/root / ext4 rw,relatime,commit=0 0 0 /proc/mounts:rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0 /proc/mounts:/dev/root / ext4 rw,relatime,data=ordered 0 0 [i'm running 3.6.11-gentoo, proprietary nvidia, sys-fs/mdadm, sys-fs/lvm2, with no initrd of any flavour; the system boots using legacy grub; the root filesystem is on softraid device] have i missed something? thank you -- victor

And the quick elegant way is emerge -1a /usr/lib/udev although I don't
know how recent a version of portage you need for that.

My daily update pulled in udev-197-r3. The installation went smoothly but I decided I ought to reboot to check that I could. I couldn't. Udev couldn't start because my kernel config didn't have CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y. So I booted my rescue system on the same disk, chrooted in and built a new kernel with that option. On rebooting everything was fine. Just a note for anyone else who may not have that kernel option. -- Peter
