I've been running 2.6.10 for some time. Then I started reading some stuff |
| 2 |
that I should update my Dell Inspiron 8200 notebook to UDEV. So I followed |
| 3 |
the gentoo wiki page and used kernel 2.6.13. This caused (known) issues with |
| 4 |
my nvidia driver and I couldn't get the USB mouse to work (yet the alps pad |
| 5 |
AND track point both worked fine). I didn't know what else was going to not |
| 6 |
work, so I said the hell with this as I'd already wasted enough time and |
| 7 |
went back to my old kernel image (until the udev people get their shit |
| 8 |
together and this is more stable). |

I unmerged 'udev' |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I re-emerged devfsd |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Things were generally working fine (with 2.6.10) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Tonight I tried to make a new 2.6.14 kernel (using make oldconfig) and when |
| 17 |
it booted, there was some message that I don't have DEVFS or UDEV installed |
| 18 |
and so many things didn't work including sound, nvidia, wireless, etc. |
| 19 |
|

I re-read the udev wiki page and tried to find the 'make menuconfig' options |
| 21 |
they suggest and can't find them. I also grepped my .config for both "UDEV" |
| 22 |
and "DEVFS" and found nothing. WTF! |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
How do I use the good old devfs with the 2.6.14+ kernels?! Where are the |
| 25 |
freakin' settings? What do I need to change/fix to get it to work again. |
| 26 |
UGH! |
