What makes you believe it has anything to do with udev, or the udev's hwdb.bin? I can't find any indication of that based on current provided output. Created attachment 334492 [details]

dmesg nouveau loads ok (no /etc/udev/hwdb.bin)

The fact that it boots without /etc/udev/hwdb.bin with no problem and it is so easy reproducible with "udevadm hwdb --update". But what do you think where I sould look? By the way I found it because there are 3 Gentoo installations on the G5. (I use rsycn to keep them uptodate.) One of them had a very short hwdb.bin (In reply to comment #6) > By the way I found it because there are 3 Gentoo installations on the G5. > (I use rsycn to keep them uptodate.) > One of them had a very short hwdb.bin And it's the box with unusual short hwdb.bin that fails to load the driver? Is /etc on it's own partition and/or does it have enough space to generate the .bin file? It's few megabytes. Output of these? # emerge -pv hwids (is USE=udev enabled?) # emerge -pv sys-fs/udev (is USE=hwdb enabled?) # udevadm --update hwdb (try to use the --debug switch to get more information!) # ls -ld /etc/udev/hwdb.bin # ls -ld /etc/udev/hwdb.d/* (In reply to comment #7) > (In reply to comment #6) > > By the way I found it because there are 3 Gentoo installations on the G5. > > (I use rsycn to keep them uptodate.) > > One of them had a very short hwdb.bin > > And it's the box with unusual short hwdb.bin that fails to load the driver? > Is /etc on it's own partition and/or does it have enough space to generate > the .bin file? It's few megabytes. It is the the one with the long hwdb.bin that fails to load the driver. There should be enough space everywhere on all of the 3 installations. Only /tmp is seperate.
