Well, I do, and I didn't create it. And etc-update works for files that |
| 37 |
were already there and an updated created a new version. Go figure. |
| 38 |
Perhaps I'm using different init tools (I had a problem with that... I |
| 39 |
run the ~amd64 versions). I use the same profile you do. |

Anyways, the file's header begins like that: |
| 42 |
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/rc,v 1.20.2.7 |

As for your question, if you want udev, then yes, you should put udev |
| 46 |
there. Mine is set to static because I had problems with software-RAID |
| 47 |
(udev not creating my rootfs, kernel fails to load init, etc, etc.). If |
| 48 |
udev doesn't do problems to you (and you actually need it - and with a |
| 49 |
server - do you really need it?) - you can use it :) |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
One more thing - I think you should try playing with gentoo=nodevfs in |
| 52 |
the kernel options (or append= if you have LILO) - if you have it, it |
| 53 |
could also disable udev. I recall something about that with all my |
| 54 |
tryings... |
| 55 |

Good Luck, |
