I don't anderstand why I get a message BUT I want to make an approvement to the message we get in this case: === clear echo einfo "The Gentoo Linux system initialization scripts have detected that your" einfo "kernel has been compiled without DEVFS support. Because Gentoo Linux" einfo "has been designed to work with DEVFS, it is required that you compile" einfo "support for it into your kernel. Please read the 'Gentoo Linux from" einfo "source (build) CD Installation Guide' at:" echo einfo " http://www.gentoo.org/doc/build.html" echo einfo "for more information on how to do this." ===== Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Expected Results: I (as a beginner) had much more difficulties to read this because: - of the "clear" at the beginning, - the time to read it, 15 seconds, until it goes on is too short, - the link to found more details is no more existing. I whish: - no clear, to see what appends before this problem, - a very long time to read the message, (is it possible to take "zero" for an infinite time?) - a correction of the link to the actuel one - a longer explanation with much more details to better anderstand where my error (in the kernel) is. Thanks for helping a very beginner.
Messages given by Portage will be stored later (with more recent Portage versions). Right now you'll either have to be very quick or read the ebuild sources. Regarding the content of the bugreport, our documentation clearly states that you need to select devfs support in your kernel. This is mentioned in the installation instructions: """ File systems ---> [*] Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs) [*] /proc file system support [*] /dev file system support (EXPERIMENTAL) [*] Automatically mount at boot """ and """ Note: Users of a 2.6 kernel will find some of the mentioned options under Pseudo filesystems which is a subpart of File systems. """ Marking INVALID (although I could also say it's a duplicate of the bugs mentioning that ebuild information should be stored and viewable after an emerge).
