I've been working all day rearranging furniture in my apartment. I got

logged in, I found that Mythtv was all screwed up and that it said I
didn't have any programs set to record. LiveTV didn't work at all. My
tv card (dev/video0); ls says it's there, but cat says it's not. When I
used /etc/init.d/udev I got a message saying that the udev initscript
only works with baselayout 2 and that I shouldn't use it with baselayout
1. I didn't even know I was using baselayout 1! Anyway, is there a
way, after I've booted the computer, to access those messages shown at
startup?
I found it in /var/log/messages. It said:
Nov 23 15:37:07 camille kernel: udev: missing sysfs features; please
update the kernel or disable the kernel's CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED
option; udev may fail to work correctly
Nov 23 15:00:01 camille sudo: michael : TTY=pts/4 ; PWD=/home/michael ;
USER=root ; COMMAND=/etc/init.d/udev restart
I'm rebuilding the kernel with that option disabled, but in the meantime
why did Mythtv forget my programs set to record? I checked that mysql
is running, and it is, I checked mythbacked. The only discrepancy I can
find is the existence of /dev/video0...
Question one: You using baselayout 2 or 1?
I ran into this the other day and I just recompiled a new kernel with
the CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED option disabled. It's under the General
Setup screen as:
Create deprecated sysfs layout for older userspace tools
I'm pretty sure that is it. After you disable that and reboot,
everything should go back to normal. I don't have MythTV or anything so
I hope everything will go back to normal on that too.
Hope that helps.
