Then I started reading some stuff that I should update my Dell Inspiron 8200 notebook to UDEV. So I followed the gentoo wiki page and used kernel 2.6.13. This caused (known) issues with my nvidia driver and I couldn't get the USB mouse to work (yet the alps pad AND track point both worked fine). I didn't know what else was going to not work, so I said the hell with this as I'd already wasted enough time and went back to my old kernel image (until the udev people get their shit together and this is more stable). I unmerged 'udev' I re-emerged devfsd Things were generally working fine (with 2.6.10) Tonight I tried to make a new 2.6.14 kernel (using make oldconfig) and when it booted, there was some message that I don't have DEVFS or UDEV installed and so many things didn't work including sound, nvidia, wireless, etc. I re-read the udev wiki page and tried to find the 'make menuconfig' options they suggest and can't find them. I also grepped my .config for both "UDEV" and "DEVFS" and found nothing. WTF! How do I use the good old devfs with the 2.6.14+ kernels?! Where are the freakin' settings? What do I need to change/fix to get it to work again. UGH! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
