[SOLVED PARTIALY] latest udev-087 (crash)

rseku · n00b Joined: 18 Dec 2004 Posts: 7

I have had strange failure after latest emerge -u system:
1. system doesn't detect (/) root filesystem advise e2fsck
2. I found, that /dev/hda[0-9] is missing
3. the crash happens during udev-start.sh when /sbin/udevstart is taking the whole memory available (memory leakage within udevstart)
3. After udevstart crash, system is willing to continue, but can not find hd* entries in dev
4. I solved this by adding manualy by mknod command to /lib/udev/devices
5. Then I discovered, that /dev/tty* is missing - infact they are but as a regular file in /dev/
6. Again I I added entries into above dir manually. helped
7. entries such /dev/ppp should be entered manually.
8. udevinfo -q path /dev/hda is still not working after successful boot

I tink that udev-087 should be removed from portage asap.
Enabling debug login doesn't help because no messages are coming before udevstart

All the best
robert

I just upgraded and now I do not dare to reboot to test, because this is my only computer right now...

I posted more or less the same woe yesterday.
I reverted to 079-r1 and luckyly, it works again.

I updated today with other new packages and rebooted. Udev complained with some warning during boot, but everything seems to be ok. Absolutely no problems with stable, newest udev (087).

New reboot was also flawless and the warning I mentioned earlier was: "udevd-event[1823]: find_free_number: %e is deprecated, will be removed and is not likey to work correctly. Don't use it." That was captured by camera, so all the mistypos are also from the warningmessage.

I have no idea where/what that %e is.

I was having the find_free_number message too, it is easy to remedy: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-444874.html

Not sure if I'm reviving an old subject here or what, but I recently ran 'emerge -ua system' and, thus, updated to udev 087. My /dev/sda1 and sda2 were gone. I need those for my usbstick and iPod... dmesg had what looked like some evil IRQ errors (?). I tried using 'mknod' to recreate the files but when I tried mounting then, I got something akin to invalid block file. Long story short, I took the advice of one of the above posters and just downgraded to 079-r1, and everything's peachy again. Anyone know why this is an issue?
