Hello!

I have updated my gentoo box by typing emerge --update world. This also updated udev and now I don't get any network on startup. If I want to get a network connection, I'll have to first delete "/var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid" and then run 'dhcpcd eth0'.

On startup I get some udev related error messages:
>> Letting udev process events ...
>> udevd-event[668]: wait_for_sysfs: waiting for '/sys/class/net/lo/device/driver' failed >> udevd-event[1371]: wait_for_sysfs: waiting for '/sys/class/net/eth1/device/driver' failed
>> Finalizing udev configuration ...

However when entering runlevel 3 and dhcpcd is being started it successfully assigns an (correct) ip address to eth0. The only problem is that the resolv.conf is then empty and so I get no network connection at all. I didn't change any configuration files, I just updated udev.

My version of udev is 104 (latest stable version available) and ifconfig eth0 tells me

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:15:C5:3A:EB:EB
         inet addr:192.168.1.101  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

         RX bytes:412119 (402.4 Kb)  TX bytes:45958 (44.8 Kb)
         Interrupt:17

Please don't tell me to downgrade udev as I unfortunately don't know which version was my previous merged version :-(.

Please let me know if you need any further informations regarding my system.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Best Regards Jay
