 Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2006 1:51 am Post subject: Udev warning (SOLVED) |
 |
|
Greetings.
I have installed Gentoo but there is an message that appears on the screen about dev populating nodes or something and that something(udev) is depricated and not to use it cause it probably doesn't work. I couldn't see the whole message because it scolls up the screen too fast.
What do I do?

The initial warning is about a udev function that is deprecated and it says it will be discontinued, not to not use udev.
You can safely ignore it, it is normal for now. |

And moreover it is very safe to mark your thread as [SOLVED] if it is - and I think it is. Posting my post is wasted time on the one hand, but reading this thread was wasted time on the other hand, just because it was not marked as solved ...

This seems to be a(nother) bug in the DVD installer. It's a misformatted error message,
at a guess, but it doesn't seem to do any real harm. I'm wary of the DVD since the
command line installer tried to repartition my drive without warning, but fortunately it
crashed with an "Unknown partition type" message before carrying out its threat.
(It didn't, of course, say which type or which partition.)
Whoever put the DVD together needs to be kept well away from future releases, but
simply booting the DVD hasn't done any harm that I can see; nor would I expect it
to, it isn't mounting any permanent storage by default.

| It has nothing to do with the dvd... at least me installed it with the minimal-cd... and thats just a warning that a configuration-option is marked depreciated... |

cwr, it's not a bug in the dvd, it's a warning about something in the default configuration (udev configuration in this case) that should not be done anymore.
i don't like the new installers either, but the devs working on it already had a hard time creating them, and they're probably only trying to help some people, so you shouldn't be that mean to them. they'll (hopefully) fix things in some later release.
