Well, udev is started by the /sbin/rc script, so maybe you want to take a look through that and see if you have some setting or file that tells udev not to start. Some of the things that affect udev starting are: RC_DEVICES in /etc/conf.d/rc 'noudev' kernel command line option 'nodevfs' kernel command line option Also, if you have /dev listed in fstab, the script will try to use those options for mounting. So if it exists, maybe you want to remove it and use the default options. Udev uses either ramfs or tmpfs filesystems, andthey should be compiled into your kernel, not as modules. Finally, if you don't have hotplug support in your kernel, you will have trouble with devices not being created when they should, particularly things that you have built as modules. >I'd be too dumb if I try to post question to the list w/o doing what I >should do, and attempt to solve the problem myself.

Otherwise you are bound to get a lot of replies telling you to try things that you have already done. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
