With kernel 2.6.27 and udev-151-r4, there are lockups for basic authentication (virtual terminal 1, ctrl+alt+f1, takes a long while to start; sudo takes a long time) and wireless firmware lookups fail. This one took me a long time to finally pinpoint. Could the warning for old kernel versions get updated? Do we know what the minimum kernel version is?

grep SYSFS /usr/src/linux/.config if you have #CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y or #CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y then udev won't work, removing it and it will. there's already a check for kernel version in the ebuild. KV_PATCH_min=25 KV_PATCH_reliable=27 KV_min=2.6.${KV_PATCH_min} KV_reliable=2.6.${KV_PATCH_reliable} <2.6.25 bad, 2.6.25 worksform 2.6.27+ ok

Neither are set. > <2.6.25 bad, 2.6.25 worksform 2.6.27+ ok Well, if you're positive 2.6.27 is OK then this bug is invalid. I'm using the official (i.e. officially customized) 2.6.27 kernel for the OpenPandora handheld, so perhaps there is a change in there that breaks udev. I know that's an easy out but since I can't think of anything better to point at I would understand if you took this reason and closed this bug.
Looking at this bug again, I don't mind if this bug gets dropped. It's using a very specific setup from years past, and no one else seems to have stubbed their toe on it. If anyone has the burning desire to dig deep into this one, be my guest. :)
