1 Today -- some time after most other users (smile) -- I ran into bug 291916 .
2 I updated my Asus EEE netbook to Baselayout 1.12.13 & got the messages
3 "assuming udev failed somewhere, as /dev/zero does not exist" etc ;
4 downgrading back to Baselayout 1.12.11.1 solved the problem.
5 I've been using 1.12.13 on the desktop since 2009-11-14 w/o problems.

7 The bug suggests booting from a live USB & emptying /sys ,
8 but that seems awkward & hardly the long-term solution.
9 What is the current proper practice when upgrading to Baselayout 1.12.13 ?
10
11 Or is the best solution to move to Baselayout 2 ?
12 What are others' experiences ?
