Try (assuming you don't have a separate /var filesystem): mount / -o remount,noatime,rw etc-update Once you have worked through that, edit /etc/conf.d/rc, which contains many of the things that were once in /etc/rc.conf, including RC_DEVICES. Since you are still on 2.6.10, a udev migration is not /necessary/ to fix your system, but I would still recommend it when you have some time. The basic steps are going to be: emerge udev coldplug hotplug edit /etc/conf.d/rc to set RC_DEVICES=udev remove any udev/devfs options from the kernel command line in /boot/grub/grub.conf remove /dev/.devfs if it exists reboot You can find a lot more information on udev here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
