In Code Listing 3.1 and 3.2 the --udev option is used. As I understand it this option is on by default in genkernel 3.3.5 and possibly earlier versions. Furhtermore, the --udev option is not explained in the document. Worse still, the genkernel manpage says nothing either. By typing `genkernel --help' there is at last something: You can say --no-udev and disable udev support. My suggestion then is to just drop --udev from the code listings.

interesting, even though it says --udev is depreciated i cant boot my system if i dont specify it genkernel --udev all boot works genkernel all boot stops at, "Uncompressing Linux" now even though its depreciated shouldnt it still put the --udev into the compile options ?? steps: 1. emerge gentoo-sources (if not recompiling a current) 2. emerge genkernel (if not recompiling a current) 3. genkernel all expected result: boot works actual result: boot halts on "Uncompressing Linux"
Which versions are you all using?
CC'ing Tim for info.
This bug was opened a while ago, I've fixed it (removing --udev) sometime after it got opened (but before I got CCed) so I think this is safe to resolve as fixed. Max; please check you are using the latest genkernel and if problems continue open a new genkernel bug for that please.
