 |
|
Last time when I installed Gentoo (custom kernel) all important modules (like network drivers) were load automatically during the boot procedure. This is not the case with my newest installation. lsmod command shows that only fuse module is loaded. From what I understand (please correct me if I'm wrong) it's udev's job to load appropriate modules. So I've checked "rc-update show", and indeed udev and udev-mount aren't there (on my other gentoo machine they're in sysinit runlevel)
Is there something wrong with my new installation? Or maybe there were some changes in installation procedure and now udev has to be added to proper runlevel manually? |

you might want to check your menuconfig for | Quote: | [*] Gentoo Linux support
[*] Linux dynamic and persistent device naming (userspace devfs) support
Support for init systems, system and service managers --->
[*] OpenRC, runit and other script based systems and managers
[*] systemd |
this stuff is pretty new, systemd is invoked with "init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" on the kernel command line, if not invoked openrc runs for me. gnome >=3.8 requires systemd support to install but does not require systemd be invoked and running for gnome 3.8 to run. udev is now incorporated in systemd

I'm using hardened-sources 3.11.7-r1 and maybe I'm blind but I checked in menuconfig and I grep my .config file but I didn't find any of these options.
Anyway I read about systemd and definitely I don't want to use it. I decided to switch to eudev. Here's what I did:
| Code: | rc-update add udev sysinit
rc-update add udev-mount sysinit
emerge -avC udev
emerge avt eudev
/etc/init.d/udev --nodeps restart
rc-update add udev-postmount default
etc-update
emerge @preserved-rebuild |
After reboot everything seems to work fine. Modules are loaded, and I even have these good old sexy interfaces' names (eth0, wlan0) back.
But I don't know if there are any additional steps I should follow to get rid of old udev for good. For example I still have this package installed, should I unmerge it?

the menuconfig stuff was from gentoo-sources
as i understand it the virtuals are to allow the choice of which version of a dependency is used to vary based on the app needing it

| Keep virtual/udev. If you looked at its dependencies, you would see that it is a meta-package that lets other packages depend on having any of the packages that provide a udev-like program: sys-fs/eudev, sys-fs/udev, or sys-apps/systemd. This is useful when the package needs a dynamic device manager, but its needs can be satisfied by any of the udev-like managers. |

Interestingly enough, I have had the same issue with my latest stage 3 tarball for gentoo-hardened - I also had to add udev to the proper runlevel manually. There must have been some changes recently as also the size of the stage 3 tarball has increased pretty substantially (see here for some information about that).
