Here's how I understand how things work: There's a body of code called "udev" which when runs performs a service called "udev". There's also a body of code called "systemd" which when it runs is PID 1. And there's a project called "systemd" which does all manner of PID 1 things and controls early startup amongst other things. There used to be a project called udev which has been folded into the systemd project. Both bodies of code are these days found in a tarball called "systemd" from the systemd project which is why you download systemd sources when installing the Gentoo udev package. However, systemd doesn't just magically do what udev does out of thin air. udev is still a functional running service and must be enabled in systemd for it to run. Confused yet? English is a hugely overloaded language. I'm thinking you need systemd with the udev USE flag set. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
