Bug 125780 – baselayout on kernel 2.4

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED INVALID

[Description Peter Huber 2006-03-10 17:10:31 UTC]

We have a serious problem after updating to the newest baselayout and udev. Like in 119894 the boot process does no longer mount partitions. After logging in, it is possible to mount the missing partitions via mount -a. We have the problem since an emerge sytem / world today but only on two server using the 2.4.31 kernel. Other machines running 2.6 do not have any problems. We can not update to 2.6 because some (stupid) software running on these machines need kernel 2.4.
We need help very fast, because these two machines are central mail and cms server. Can you help ?

uhh, doesnt udev require linux-2.6

[Comment 2 Peter Huber 2006-03-11 05:36:24 UTC]

I think you are right. No udev with kernel 2.4, but why the hell does emerge install udev on my server ? I have to investigate it...

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2006-03-11 05:55:44 UTC]

prob because you are using a 2.6 profile instead of a 2.4 profile

just do `emerge -C udev && emerge devfsd` and you'll be fine

[Comment 4 Peter Huber 2006-03-15 03:48:55 UTC]

yes, that fixed it... Thanks.
