A bit more detail... *WARNING* do the following in sequence, quickly, |
| 12 |
and do *NOT* reboot until after step 7) |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
1) Optional fallback... quickpkg udev |
| 15 |
2) Keyword sys-fs/eudev/eudev-1_beta2-r2 (~x86 or ~amd64 or whatever is |
| 16 |
correct for your machine) |
| 17 |
3) Remove udev... emerge -Ca udev |
| 18 |
4) Install eudev... emerge -1a eudev |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
NOTE; eudev is a drop-in replacement for udev, and generates the same |
| 21 |
file names. With that in mind, the next 2 items make sense... |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
5) Stop the old udev demon and start the new one with the command... |
| 24 |
/etc/init.d/udev --nodeps restart |
| 25 |
6) Do *NOT* remove virtual/udev and do *NOT* remove the udev service |
| 26 |
with rc-update |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
7) Follow any additional instructions you may get as ewarn messages or |
| 29 |
in /var/log/portage/elog |
