One addition: |

|
| 10 |
at the reboot time a fellow IT-guy will be there in front of the console |
| 11 |
so if the NIC doesn't come up correctly I will be able to instruct him |
| 12 |
to get the box up and reachable for me. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I also use to disable persistent names for such updates ... and get |
| 15 |
good old eth0 UP instead of enpXsY unconfigured ;-) |

skip that ... I leave glibc for now and focus on udev and openrc, see below. |

openrc needs an updated udev and I am currently working on getting at |
| 30 |
least sys-fs/udev-208-r1 installed now (conflicts with lvm2 and stuff ...) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Some circular dep between udev and udev-init-scripts blocks things ... I |
| 33 |
fiddled with this and now decided to gor for a "--nodeps" ... while I |
| 34 |
type this udev, lvm2 and udev-init-scripts get emerged OK now. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Phew. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
openrc installs now as well ... so now for "dispatch-conf" and |
| 39 |
"disabling the persistent nic names" |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
Seems as if the biggest problems are solved right now? |
