We're on 2.6.19 or 2.6.20 right now. There were significant updates and bugfixes. Youve got to update your system.

No, it's because those entries in /dev don't exist because /dev wasn't mounted. Sync your portatge tree, and then upgrade your kernel and udev, and then the rest of your system, and things should behave sanely. Good luck, --dan. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
