| Quote: | | In start up something flashes by able disabling config sysfs deprecated or updating the kernel to fix udev? Any ideas? |
Believe this happens because you have:
| Quote: | General setup --->
[*] enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace tools |
in your kernel configuration.
This should be:
| Quote: | General setup --->
[ ] enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace tools |
Help for this item reads:
| Quote: | CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2:
This option switches the layout of sysfs to the deprecated version. Do not use it on recent distributions.
The current sysfs layout features a unified device tree at /sys/devices/, which is able to express a hierarchy between class devices.
If the deprecated option is set to Y, the unified device tree is split into a bus device tree at /sys/devices/ and several individual class device trees at /sys/class/.
The class and bus devices will be connected by "<subsystem>:<name>" and the "device" links. The "block"class devices, will not show up in /sys/class/block/. Some subsystems will suppress the creation of some devices which depend on the unified device tree.
This option is not a pure compatibility option that can be safely enabled on newer distributions. It will change the layout of sysfs to the non-extensible deprecated version, and disable some features, which can not be exported without confusing older userspace tools. Since 2007/2008 all major distributions do not enable this option, and ship no tools which depend on the deprecated layout or this option.
If you are using a new kernel on an older distribution, or use older userspace tools, you might need to say Y here. Do not say Y, if the original kernel, that came with your distribution, has this option set to N.
Symbol: SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=n
Prompt: enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace tools

Did you use genkernel or did you make the kernel manually?

Please do not use it with baselayout-1!. |
If this message keeps appearing, don't worry about it. It is a known harmless defect. |

Run:
| Code: | | grep -i CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 /usr/src/linux/.config |
If the output is "CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y" there is a potential for problems as expressed in the help quoted above.
To correct it while continuing to use genkernel:
ensure the /boot partition is mounted
will tell you
| Code: | | mount /dev/sda1 /boot |
if needed to mount it
| Code: | | genkernel --oldconfig --menuconfig all |
in the menuconfig menu select general setup and change | Quote: | | [*] enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace tools |
to | Quote: | | [ ] enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace tools |
then exit twice, be patient while the rebuild is being done. |

Still a no go....
I've learnt a lot from Gentoo, I don't regret all the time invested into it but i'm going to give up for a while a start fresh later on once i've gained a little more experience in it all, Any advise on a Linux distro that is not as user friendly as Fedora/Ubuntu/Opensuse but not as hard as Gentoo? |
