-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I went to do my routine "emerge -Duptv world" and it came back with devfsd blocking gentoo-sources-2.6.13-r3. I'm not sure whether I'm using udev now or not. I remember compiling into the kernel last time I did a kernel compile. Naturally, when I did the "emerge -Cpv devfsd" it complained that I was unemerging something in the system profile, and that it could damage my system. So I just thought I would check here before hurting anything. ;-)
Take a look at the RC_DEVICES setting in /etc/conf.d/rc. If that says "auto" or "udev", then you are using udev and can safely remove devfs. Another way to check is to look at the output of "mount | grep /dev". Here is what it says for me:
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid) If you are still using devfs, this will probably say "type devfs". -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
