Actually this is a Seamonkey error.  Seamonkey 1 doesn't work with some 
sites, banking mostly, and Seamonkey 2 just loves to send blanks emails 
to mailing lists.  I might also add that it is starting to get on my 
freaking nerves pretty bad.  That was a pretty long message with a lot 
of info in it.  Thanks for letting me know that Seamonkey was falling 
down on the job again.  I'm going to get a larger hammer here shortly.  
;-)  Here goes again.

I rebooted today after almost three months of uptime.  I noticed these 
messages when booting:

There are more but they are all pretty close to this.  I googled and 
searched the forums and the best fix seemed to be to delete the files in 
/etc/udev/, re-emerge udev andthen reboot.  So I did that.  I still get 
the same error message tho.  Some more info:

root@smoker / # uname -r
2.6.30-gentoo-r8
root@smoker / # emerge -pv udev

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-fs/udev-149  USE="devfs-compat -extras (-selinux) 
-test" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB

  * IMPORTANT: 1 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'.
  * Use eselect news to read news items.

root@smoker / #

I'm also still on baselayout 1 as well.  Is this udev?  Is it something 
else?  What's the deal here?  What am I missing?

Thanks

Dale

P. S.  Deleting those udev files tinkered with the names of my network 
cards.  So, if anyone reading this deletes those files, you may have to 
dig around to find out which card is which again.  Good thing is, they 
are back in order again instead of jumping up, down then back up again.
