Also, as of kernel 2.6.13, devfs is no longer in the kernel and you must use udev. without it you will never get your devices to be recognised.
I do hope you kept your old kernel around so that you can boot to it.

Hi group, After running -Du gentoo-sources, I noted that /etc/modules.autoload.d/2.6 had been overwritten by a blank form. So I re-wrote it and rebooted. All, and *only* modules having to do with net stuff, ie, ppp, eth0, serial devices etc failed to load. Here's a sample from dmesg: kb ppp_generic: Unknown symbol alloc_skb ppp_generic: disagrees about version of symbol skb_queue_purge ppp_generic: Unknown symbol skb_queue_purge ppp_generic: disagrees about version of symbol __pskb_pull_tail ppp_generic: Unknown symbol __pskb_pull_tail ppp_generic: disagrees about version of symbol netif_rx ppp_generic: Unknown symbol netif_rx ppp_generic: disagrees about version of symbol alloc_netdev ppp_generic: Unknown symbol alloc_netdev ppp_generic: disagrees about version of symbol __kfree_skb ppp_generic: Unknown symbol __kfree_skb ppp_generic: disagrees about version of symbol skb_queue_head ppp_generic: Unknown symbol skb_queue_head ppp_async: Unknown symbol ppp_channel_index ppp_async: Unknown symbol ppp_register_channel ppp_async: disagrees about version of symbol skb_deque <snip> Similar for forcedeth, serial_8250 etc. Sound, video, timers etc all loaded OK. >From the forums I found the suggestion to save .config, do a make mrproper, copy back the config and re-compile. Had no effect. So I figured, since I just downloaded the 2.6.16-r3 sources(been using 2.6.12-r6) I should just compile a fresh kernel. But that didn't work either. Here's my /etc/modules.autoload.d/kern-2.6: # /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6: kernel modules to load when system boots. # # Note that this file is for 2.6 kernels. # # Add the names of modules that you'd like to load when the system # starts into this file, one per line.
