Description jreed 2005-07-13 17:05:37 UTC
hello everyone.

i'm using ~x86 and genkernel seems to choke on compiling 2.6.12-r5. in a
nutshell, compiling seems to run smoothly with 'genkernel --udev all', i modify
my grub.conf as needed, add autoloading modules, reboot, and the kernel won't
mount my root filesystem, and also complains about not being able to start udev.
the system hangs, and i'm forced to reboot into a slightly older kernel, which
isn't a bad thing. i've tried compiling w/out genkernel as well, and building
the exact system using an old .config, and still get the same results.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. genkernel/compile gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r5
2. modify grub.conf, add auto-loading modules
3. reboot

Actual Results:  
udev seems to hang every time, and i've used an identical config file from my
last successful compile.

Expected Results:  
detected my hardware/root filesystem and activated udev proper.

i don't see this bug as potentially deadly, and i'm fine with running
gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r4 in the mean time!
