Description Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-03-12 02:18:00 UTC 
With sys-fs/udev-229-r2 I am getting

> [   11.734608] udevd[3283]: starting version 229
> [   11.741842] udevd[3284]: invalid ACTION operation

on boot.

# cat /lib64/udev/rules.d/40-gentoo.rules
# Gentoo specific floppy and usb groups
ACTION="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="fd[0-9]", GROUP="floppy"
ACTION="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", GROUP="usb"

The file was changed in -r2, udev-229 worked: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/sys-fs/udev/udev-229.ebuild?id=f22dc35ae6f299a264552e440c3f38f50df7ab55#n118

Looks like this was changed because of bug 571986?
Comment 1 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2016-03-12 03:33:32 UTC 
The ebuild has this:

    cat <<-EOF > "${T}"/40-gentoo.rules
    # Gentoo specific floppy and usb groups
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="fd[0-9]", GROUP="floppy"
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", GROUP="usb"
    EOF

The rules on your machine seem to be missing an equal sign after ACTION.
Comment 2 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-03-12 08:52:25 UTC 
I suppose that's an error I added to the udev ebuild in my personal overlay (poly-c overlay).
I have fixed that meanwhile.
Comment 3 Thomas Deutschmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-03-12 14:58:23 UTC 
Closing this as invalid, sys-fs/udev::gentoo was never affected: Yes, I was using an outdated sys-fs/udev ebuild from Lars' overlay.

I knew that I was using the version from the overlay, however I didn't spot '=' vs '==' and only remembered this change...

Sorry for wasting your time.
