Re: [gentoo-server] udev conflict

[Jeremy Brake]

From what I can tell, all you need to do is mask baselayout to its 
current version in /etc/portage/package.mask , which should stop it from 
going up to a newer version which thinks it needs udev.

Also, just make sure your profile is still set for a 2.4 kernel  - wild 
shot, but worth looking at.

DONT put udev into package.provided and update baselayout, thats very 
likely to screw things up lots.
