Yes, everything works as expected when using the old kernel. I decided to re-emerge some base libraries, and nothing worked, until I remembered to re-emerge udev. After the build, it announced two wrong lines in the new kernel "config" file: CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y After correcting them and building the kernel again, now everything is back to normal.

Have you went back to the old kernel to test it again? =C2=A0If= it does the
same with the old kernel, it's likely not the kernel. =C2=A0If it works= like
it used to then it is the kernel.

That said, it is weird and I have ran into this sort of thing in the
past. =C2=A0Something works fine then breaks or acts weird with a newer
kernel. =C2=A0Usually I just stick with the old kernel until a couple
releases goes by and then try again. =C2=A0They fix stuff pretty fast.

:-) =C2=A0:-)

Thanks for your reply, Dale.
Yes, everything works as expected when using the old kernel.

I dec= ided to re-emerge some base libraries, and nothing worked, until I remember= ed to re-emerge udev. After the build, it announced two wrong lines in the = new kernel "config" file:

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=3Dy
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=3Dy

Af= ter correcting them and building the kernel again, now everything is back t= o normal.

Thanks again
Francisco
