Kernels don't get compiled and installed automatically. I bet you still run your old kernel which was configured for devfs. Your update probably unmerged "devfsd" or whatever the daemon was called. Now, how to plumb the hole? Boot from a liveCD, Mount your partitions the way your fstab would do it, chroot into your system that's on the harddrive, compile the kernel with udev, update /boot/grub/grub.conf) run "etc-update" and finally reboot with a bottle of cheap (Lundgren's your name?) aquavit at hand. ;-) I have probably forgotten some steps but guess you get the picture. ;-) Uwe -- Unix is sexy: who | grep -i blonde | date cd ~; unzip; touch; strip; finger mount; gasp; yes; uptime; umount sleep -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
