Just did a fresh install of Gentoo on my laptop and on boot it is hanging on "waiting for uevents to be processed ..."
Searched and found some posts but none that seemed to apply. Any help is appreciated, I'm not sure what info you guys need so just let me know. |

boot the cd, mount the gentoo partitions, enter the chroot, nominally:
| Code: | mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1" |
then
| Code: | emerge hal dbus udev pciutils gentoolkit wgetpaste
wgetpaste -s ca /usr/src/linux/.config
lspci -k | wgetpaste
emerge --info | wgetpaste
rc-update add dbus default
rc-update add hald default
rc-update add udev-postmount default
rc-update add udev sysinit # works if using baselayout2
# else "runlevel 'sysinit' not found; skipping" no problem
exit
reboot
|
try a reboot, if still unlucky post the url's returned

I think your problem could be with the kernel configuration, if i were you, i would delete the .config and create it again without genkernel, select just what you need.
Compile (make), install the modules, copy your new kernel to the /boot, configure your grub.conf. And try again.

emerge --info says | Quote: | | System uname: Linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r10-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i7_CPU_Q_720_@_1.60GHz-with-gentoo-1.12.13 |
The config file says | Quote: | #
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.34-gentoo-r1
# Fri Jul 30 08:11:29 2010
# |
| Code: | | eselect kernel list |
Shoul give something like:
| Quote: | Available kernel symlink targets:
[1] linux-2.6.31-gentoo-r10
[2] linux-2.6.32-gentoo-r7
[3] linux-2.6.33-gentoo-r1
[4] linux-2.6.33-gentoo-r2
[5] linux-2.6.34-gentoo-r1 * |
If not, and if 2.6.34-gentoo-r1 is desired
| Code: | | eselect kernel set 1 |
then ensure /boot partition is mounted (if used) and run
| Code: | | genkernel --oldconfig --menuconfig all |
#plus any other arguments you normally use
in menuconfig edit:
| Quote: | General setup --->
[ ] enable deprecated sysfs features to support old userspace tools |
disabling | Quote: | CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y |
which have an advertised ability to prevent udev operating normally. You have tons of modules so uevents may take awhile (2 minutes?). |

2.6.34-r1 was the only option and was already selected.
recompiled the kernel with that option disabled and still no luck. |

you may be in the situation where udev is no longer making legacy hard drive adapter device nodes
With this kernel configuration both /boot/grub/grub.conf and /etc/fstab should be edited to call partition names /dev/sd?? vice /dev/hd?? |

That did it sir, thank you very much. Strange as fdisk and all my config files already listed sdx numbers. Must have been the kernel config.
Thank you. |

| your hard drives are sata (hence sd names) but were using the legacy drivers, genkernel needs an update, and your kernel and udev are recent and no longer make nodes for the legacy drivers. |

I had this problem although if I pressed Ctrl on the keyboard it would sometimes help get past this. Doing a, | Code: | | rc-update add dbus default |
fixed this, like suggested above by DONAHUE, (I already had the others setup).

Hallo,
It was a few years ago when I was experimenting building a server with gentoo.
I have never used it, but I kept updating it.
Now that I need it ... I faced this very problem.
I followed the posts above but with no luck.
Actually, the fourth time I hit the reset button, the server boots. Until then it freezes after the "waiting for uevents to be processed OK" message.

I would appreciate your help very much!

your system is about a year old. Before starting any negotiations, consider updating the whole thing. I have kernels but I lost my kernel 2.6.32 in a btrfs mishap, and it was a xen kernel, not a hardened. hardened I have 2.6.34 * 36. My first approach is to incorporate your config into my system and run & test it. I baulk at putting a 2.6.32 into a 2.6.34. If I decide I'm kean, portage does offer a 2.6.32-23.
An upgrade will take a while and emerge -u will pull in 2.6.35-hardened on your stable system.
Deepblackss
you claim a fresh install with a kernel 3 months old. 2.6.34 is no longer update in the portage tree, same for you.

Might need to be
CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=y
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=y |
Under File Systems->Psuedo File Systems in menu config, in fact recommend all under Psuedo File Systems be yes.
If using openrc/baselayout2; is udev in the sysinit run level? udev-postmount in the default runlevel? dbus and hald in the default run level?
You don't have dbus, hal, udev USE flags. This may be a problem.
Disclaimer: I run gentoo-sources not hardened-sources. |

Hallo, thank you for your prompt answering!
| DONAHUE wrote: | | Disclaimer: I run gentoo-sources not hardened-sources. |
You are very right, this is a sensitive issue because there are huge differences. For example:
| Code: | # emerge -pv hardened-sources
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] sys-kernel/hardened-sources-2.6.32-r22 USE="-build -deblob -symlink" 0 kB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB |
| Code: | # emerge --deep --newuse --update --with-bdeps y world -pv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild U ] sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-10-r1 [8] 0 kB
Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 0 kB |
I am still on baselayout-1.12.11.1 since 2 is masked and I have to say that kernel 2.6.28-hardened-r9 works like a charm.
However this is an old kernel and the differences with the current 2.6.32-r22 are many and I cannot understand them!
I marked all pseudofilesystems as adviced but still no luck. The only thing is that during shutdown my system froze at the point of "Shutting down the logical volume manager".
During startup froze,as expected, after completing the waiting for uevents to be processed OK" just before "mounting /dev/pts" (it does not appear but the uevents are marked OK)
Would it be better to start a new thread for hardened systems?
Thank you again for your helping.
Kind regards,

one in the spot test coming up. This should be ok, but us room for a mishap. Putting your 2.6.32-hardened config into my 2.6.34-hardened.
It wouldn't necessarily work the other way. See if I can replicate this hang. I have only made 1 change to the disk driver and at a pinch I can undo that and still have it boot.
It is kind of showing results being it won't complete a compile. Just had to uncheck a couple of harmless points, still stalling.
This is proving quite awkward.

Your kernel config shows both legacy hard drive adapter drivers and libata hard drive adapter drivers are builtin. If the kernel has opted to use a legacy driver for any component, recent udev's will fail to make device nodes for that component/driver and you will get the error you are getting.
lspci -k shows: "Kernel driver in use: VIA_IDE" which is a legacy driver.
Regressing udev seems to be "too hard" so recommend:

Recompile and recopy kernel.
With this kernel configuration both /boot/grub/grub.conf and /etc/fstab should be edited to call partition names /dev/sd?? vice /dev/hd?? cd/dvd will use /dev/sr? like /dev/sr0 |

You say it compiled on yours, I've had enough. It keeps on throwing up errors that I don't need to debug. It should at least compile on my system with just changing the processor choice and drive controllers, so this suggests your config is quite out in subtle areas.
You have many selections vacant that I would check, but filling in such gaps distances the config further from your suspect config, it's for you to do.
The outline by DONAHUE is correct.
I suggest throw away this config, take note of the above, start again with defconfig or the other yesconfig ot whatever it's called or make menuconfig from scratch using the above as a starter. I've tested other configs with minimal changes & one single compile, but this..

I had to do this a few years ago because after an upgrade ... I lost my hard drives! Now again it caused inconvenience ...  It is diffucult to cope with kernel issues alone!

Indeed, it was a basic "100 world packages" server configuration I had done several years ago and kept on updating with make oldconfig -most of the times- default settings.
| Code: | WARNING: modpost: Found 4625 section mismatch(es).
To see full details build your kernel with:
'make CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH=y' |
I suspect that the above output of my kernel compilation verifies the fact that my setup is kind of ... neglected.
When I am not so stressed I will give a try to http://www.kernel-seeds.org/ and try to put some things together in order to bring the number closer to 0!
