As it so happens, I dug up |
| 23 |
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml |
| 24 |
for someone on the forums having udev problems. You simply need to |
| 25 |
check for some pretty standard kernel options: |
| 26 |
|General setup ---> |
| 27 |
| [*] Support for hot-pluggable devices |
| 28 |
| |
| 29 |
|File systems ---> |
| 30 |
| Pseudo filesystems ---> |
| 31 |
| [*] /proc file system support |
| 32 |
| [*] Virtual memory file system support (former shm fs) |
| 33 |
You probably want to build a 2.6.18, at least, kernel when you do this |
| 34 |
to update while you're at it, but i think 2.6.12 will work with udev |
| 35 |
too. You want to make sure _not_ to use devfs as udev replaces |
| 36 |
devfs. Then |
| 37 |
| emerge udev |
| 38 |
and you should be good to go -- no initscript necessary! I have never |
| 39 |
had to do anything else. Consult the afforementioned website if you have |
| 40 |
difficulties. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Hope that gets things going !!! |

May your luck outlast your difficulties, |
