You might want to run spinrite on the drive if you have/can find a copy of
it.

Hi people!
I updated yesterday my gentoo box. And now I can't login with SSH
through shared keys on my clients Server what I did all the time.
When I made the "world" update, there was the package "udev". I guess it
might have something todo with this.
For a short reply I would thank you.
