After upgrading a system to udev-100-r1, the system said had this message in early boot (The system has RC_DEVICES="udev" in /etc/conf.d/rc): * "You wanted udev but support for it was not available!" * "Please review your system after it's booted!" None of the normally udev-created devices in /dev were there. downgrading to udev-100 fixed the problem.

i have a different problem with udev-100-r1 : /dev/sda7 partition does not have a /dev node. fdisk shows that there is an /dev/sda7 partition, but i cannot mount it since /dev/sda7 node is missing. i didn't try other devices yet. it's no big deal, since i use it for my portage tempdir. but somebody could be in trouble. it's the last logical partition on my disk. but it was perfectly fine with udev-100 (and all previous), though. i never touched udev config files so it happens on default setup.
some problem here (amd64 x2)... I'm angry... ciao
Can you check line 98 in the file udev-100-r1.ebuild... See strange: #dosbin udev || die "Required bina..." in the previus ebuild the same line is not commented... ciao luigi
This has rendered my system unbootable, due to no device nodes, any suggestions to fix this temporarily?
I have masked sys-fs/udev-100-r1 until this gets fixed.. the best fix would be to boot off a livecd, chroot into your installation and downgrade your version of udev. (echo '=sys-fs/udev-100-r1' > /etc/portage/package.mask ; emerge udev)
Crap, sorry about this, it's my fault (must not checkin packages after travelling across 2 continents, staying up for 34 hours straight...) It's a baselayout issue, we are checking for the udev binary, which is no longer needed (hasn't been needed for a long time), so it dies before we ever get the chance to start up udev. Reassgning to baselayout, will attach the patch to /sbin/rc to fix this.
/sbin/udev is no longer needed, and we should drop it from the udev package. But /sbin/rc uses the check for /sbin/udev to determine if it is present on the system or not. Should we just check for /sbin/udevd or something else instead?
Created attachment 96765 [details, diff] Change /sbin/rc to check for udevd, not udev Here's a patch that just switches to check for /sbin/udevd, instead of /sbin/udev But should this be fixed some other way instead? The fact that we have the /lib/rcscripts/addons/udev-start.sh file? That might be better as we later actually call that script to do the udev work for us at startup.

I didn't check with udev-100, but udev-100-r1 breaks alsa on my system, due to a lack of /dev/snd/ . This should also be looked at, if it's not a symptom of the same problem.
On my system udev-100-r1 doesn't create lvm2 devices... having /usr on /dev/vg/usr caused a hang on boot. System resotred booting with kubuntu 6.06, mounting everything by hand, emerge --sync && emerge udev. udev-100-r2 solved the issue.

ok, added to svn
