-=STAGE 1=-
1. boostrap
2. emerge -e system

Why emerge -e system compile udev for profile 2.4 ?
i find in handbook:
(For those using 2.4.x kernels with a stage 3 install)
# emerge --unmerge udev
# emerge devfsd

But i use stage 1 and i must give too: emerge --unmerge udev && emerge devfsd 
There is a problem in file:
/usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/no-nptl/2.4/use.mask

# All of these require 2.6 kernels/headers
udev

Please change this for 2.4 not 2.6!!! :-)

Eh? It's correct.

[Comment 2 Marek Krolikowski 2006-05-13 03:41:08 UTC]

But why in profile 2.4 compile udev :>??
I think 2.4 not support udev. Only support devfsd....
look this is log from emerge -e system (stage 1)

stage1 ~ # cat /var/log/emerge.log |grep udev

You don't understand what use.mask is used for. USE="udev" makes no sense on 2.4 profiles, so it's use.masked. See man portage.

[Comment 4 Marek Krolikowski 2006-05-13 03:49:45 UTC]

So tell me why 2.4 profile compile udev?

[Comment 5 Marek Krolikowski 2006-05-13 03:53:20 UTC]

This is a quotation of handbook:
"If you are using a 2.4 kernel, you need to select /dev file system as 2.4 kernels do not support udev."

My question is:
Why profile 2.4 compile udev if 2.4 kernels do not support udev??
This is no sens....

[Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-05-13 04:05:45 UTC]

Because it's the default virtual for virtual/dev-manager... That's why the handbook says to unmerge it and emerge devfsd. I'll tell you what - don't use the damned stage1 if you don't understand what you are doing, we don't support it.

I had the same problem after 
1. boostrap
2. emerge -e system
My system reported the same ERROR
When I unemerged udev and emerged devfsd my problem was fix.

THX ;))

[Comment 8 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-05-13 16:10:02 UTC]

OK.  The reason why udev is built is because udev is already in the stage.  You *have* to unmerge udev before devfs will install.  There's nothing that I can do about it, at all.  See, the way that virtuals work is that if something that provides the virtual is already installed, even if it is not the default, then it satisfies the virtual.

wolf31o2@vertigo /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/profiles/default-linux/x86/no-nptl/2.4
$ grep devfs *
virtuals:virtual/dev-manager            sys-fs/devfsd

As you can see, devfsd already *is* the default.  We cannot be responsible for users not following instructions.  As I said, there's nothing that I can do, as everything is correct.  This isn't a bug.  It is a known feature of portage that allows you to select a package to satisfy a virtual that isn't the default.  Also, as Jakub said, use.mask has nothing to do with what packages are installed.

At any rate, I've added udev to package.mask on the 2.4 profiles for alpha and x86.
