12 Try (assuming you don't have a separate /var filesystem):
13
14 mount / -o remount,noatime,rw
15 etc-update
16
17 Once you have worked through that, edit /etc/conf.d/rc, which contains
18 many of the things that were once in /etc/rc.conf, including
19 RC_DEVICES.
20
21 Since you are still on 2.6.10, a udev migration is not /necessary/ to
22 fix your system, but I would still recommend it when you have some
23 time. The basic steps are going to be:
24
25 emerge udev coldplug hotplug
26 edit /etc/conf.d/rc to set RC_DEVICES=udev
27 remove any udev/devfs options from the kernel command line in
28 /boot/grub/grub.conf
29 remove /dev/.devfs if it exists
30 reboot
31
32 You can find a lot more information on udev here:
