Thanks for your reply, Dale. Yes, everything works as expected when using the old kernel. I decided to re-emerge some base libraries, and nothing worked, until I remembered to re-emerge udev. After the build, it announced two wrong lines in the new kernel "config" file: CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y After correcting them and building the kernel again, now everything is back to normal. Thanks again Francisco -- "If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have one idea and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas." - George Bernard Shaw
