BREVITY! We don't want to have to read about what you had on your |

sandwich for lunch or the fight you had with your girl to get to the |
| 7 |
meat of what you're trying to say ;-). |

Since you didn't paste the link to where you found info on the web, I'll |
| 10 |
go ahead and paste what I found for those who may want to follow up: |

To be brief, it basically mentions that udev-145 and kernel-2.6.25 are |
| 15 |
not compatible. Looks like there is a possible patch (to glibc) but the |
| 16 |
BZ doesn't really say if/when the patch will be applied in Gentoo. |

Rather than waiting on a fix for nearly-obsolete software, here is my |
| 19 |
advice: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
1. Boot into a Live CD/stick/whatever. |
| 22 |
2. Chroot into your environment as laid out in the Handbook |
| 23 |
3. Do an emerge --sync |
| 24 |
4. Upgrade *at least* the following: |
| 25 |
* kernel sources (might as well configure/compile it too, |
| 26 |
but don't reboot yet) |
| 27 |
* linux-headers |
| 28 |
* glibc (do this *after* linux headers) |
| 29 |
* udev (do this *after* glibc) |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Reboot and pray. |
