I have just run 'emerge --update --deep --newuse world' on 2 of my 
Gentoo machines as I do every few days. This upgraded my udev from 
068-r1 to 070. Neither machine will now boot. I've been investigating 
why on my server as it is most important that I get this machine up and 
running ASAP.
During boot I get the following error:
/sbin/rc: line 93:  1062 Segmentation fault      /sbin/udevstart
Then when it gets to checking root filesystem it reports /dev/sda3 is 
missing and drops me to a filesystem repair console.

Please can someone help. I urgently need to get this machine back up and 
running.

Cheers,
Dave.

I have just downgraded udev to 068-r1 and my server now boots again. I'm 
about to do the same with my other Gentoo machine. The only thing the 2 
machines have in common is that they both have SATA drives, so I wonder 
if this is causing the new udev a problem.

Hi,
Don't think it's a problem with udev-0.70, running it for a day or two.
Maybe a hardware failure or try previous version (0.68), hope you have a
binary package of it if you can't emerge it again. Useful sometimes.
Boot with a LiveCD (gentoo) and re-emerge udev-0.68-rX or just install a
binary package of it. If emerge/portage isn't working unpack it at /
(root) dir, ignore warning about extra data at the end of archive.

I'm running dual SATA Raptors with udev 70, kernel 2.6.12-r10.  Just did 
a reboot to confirm that
I could.  So it is possible.

Any info in dmesg?  How far in the boot process do you get?

Both machines are now back up and running with udev-068-r1 so I can't 
get the dmesg for when it went wrong at the moment. I'm running kernel 
2.6.13-r4 on both machines but I tried booting with 2.6.13-r3 and 
2.6.12-r10 and they made no difference. The drives in both machines are 
Samsung Spinpoint SATA drives. This is the only thing the machines have 
in common: The server is a P4 2.8 with Hyperthreading and therefore an 
SMP kernel while the HTPC is an AMD64.

I will upgrade udev to 070 again on the HTPC and try to get the dmesg 
for it a bit later on. The machines busy at the moment. When I do this, 
is there any other information I can get from the logs etc that will help?

Cheers,
Dave.

I've had the same problem, it's been reported in b.g.o. See:

    http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109789


I was able to boot using a "gentoo=noudev" option. The newest best guess on
the problem involves the gcc2.patch.

Guess I'll try going back to earlier udev 'til it gets fixed.
