Hi everybody! Last time,my first gentoo could not have any sound.And I think i had tried every way .At last I had a new gentoo system,and it was OK with sound.Then i copy the /etc in my second system with sound to the fist system which is without sound ,and then my first gentoo is Ok with sound! Then I updated in my second gentoo to gcc 4.0.2 and glibc2.4,and "emerge -e system && emerge -e world" and "etc-update" and update all the file.And when i reboot,error occured:"udev-event[1731]:find_free_number:%e is deprecated will be removed and is unlikely to work correctly.Don't use it." and "network unreachable". After i logined,i typed:"ifconfig",it showed: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:4C:8C:B8:C9 inet addr:0.0.0.255 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:0.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:4712 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:392339 (383.1 Kb) TX bytes:120 (120.0 b) Interrupt:11 Base address:0xc400 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) But i checked the file resolve.conf,hosts,net ,it's OK! And the system don't have any sound now ,i can't find the file "dsp" in the /dev. Don't you think is so weird! I think maybe there is some bug with the init script.
