Description:   Opened: 2006-01-17 02:25 0000 
Today after upgrading my system and rebooting, I cannot boot into the system
again. My system complains that it cannot find /dev/sda3 (my root partition) to
mount /. 

I entered into the maintenance mode and issued 'ls /dev' and couldn't find any
devices there. Devices occur on issuing 'devfsd /dev' command.

I tried to unmerge udev and re-emerge devfsd, but the problem remains...

I run linux kernel 2.4 version (hardened-sources) with devfsd compiled in and
configured to mount automatically at boot. 

This problem occured the first time AFA I run a hardened profile.

Upgraded packages were:

- sys-apps/hotplug-base (20040401)
- sys-fs/udev (070-r1)
- sys-apps/sysvinit (2.86-r3)
- sys-apps/baselayout (1.11.14)

My profile is hardened-x86 (/usr/portage/profiles/hardened/x86).

P.S. Why baselayout installs udev as its dependancy on a 2.4 kernel system? Or
newer 2.4 linux kernels can work with udev?

Thanks...

You should unmask "sys-fs/devfsd-1.3.25-r9" to avoid installing "udev". But i
don't know when "sys-fs/devfsd-1.3.25-r9" will be marked as stable.

@base-system: You need to stabilize devfsd-1.3.25-r9

OK, I placed "sys-fs/devfsd" into /etc/portage/package.keywords, unmerged udev,
hotplug-base, and re-emerged (upgraded) devfsd, baselayout. Everything is OK
now - and I can boot into the system now :)

Thank you very much!

Please, don't close bugs as FIXED until they are fixed in portage.
