Please do the following... 1) Add the line... sys-fs/udev to /etc/portage/package.mask. 2) Run the 2 commands emerge -pv system > system.txt emerge -pv world > world.txt 3) Remove the "sys-fs/udev" entry from /etc/portage/package.mask. and gzip or zip the files system.txt and world.txt and file-attach them. My guess is that at the end of world.txt, there will be a complaint about udev being masked. I intend to add that sanity-check to the instructions, so that people will know ahead of time whether or not they'll run into this problem. Again, sorry about putting you through this trouble. You did what a beta tester is supposed to do, i.e. find problems/bugs. -- Walter Dnes
