If you install everything on a soft raid, the devices /dev/md/* and their soft link in the /lib/udev-state/devices.bz2 are missing. so if you by mistake forget to append those by hand before rebooting, you end up with a dud system. The only reason not to have a blocker here is because: -Majority wouldn't install on raid from scratch. -If you do, you problably can get out of that trouble.
I forgot to mention, this affect ppc 2004.3 and 2005.0-rcfinal 20.03.2005
Has nothing to do with the install media and 100% to do with udev... reassigning... This was mentioned in the x86 and ppc release notes, so my personal opinion would be to mark this as INVALID.
Yup, it's INVALID :)
Ain't going to work sorry, read the bug carefully. the devices are not placed in the /lib/udev-state/devices.tar.bz2 the MAKEDEV script only puts the files in the /dev. Hence once you reboot you need them in the devices.tar.bz2 file. On a x86 platform you get a free jail out by using the type fd, put on other partition type you can't since the devices a added to the init. I follow that procedure and make all the devices as describded and it doesn't work. the devices are always missing at the end in the /lib/udev-state/devices.tar.bz2 unless it has been fixed recently.
This is not working on ppc and alpha. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Gentoo_Install_on_Software_RAID
