I'm guessing it can be removed - i've just never bothered to do so with this box. -- Tim Igoe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tim.igoe.me.uk - Personal Site http://tv.igoe.me.uk - UK TV Guide "Computers are like Air-con, open windows and they stop working!"

Thanks to all for your answers. Everything except Video4Linux seems to be working. I'm sure v4l is some oversight on my part. cheers, Mark On 5/21/05, Max <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Because no one mentioned it.

That was, when I decided to stay with devfs... it does not hurt me... and doesn't do udev slow down the booting? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Switch from devfs to udev?
Tim, Yes, basically correct. I didn't remove devfs, but I did change the opton to tell it not to mount at boot time. That was enough to get rid of some messages that said error calling unlink in "GLOBAL" I still had one more problem. gdm wouldn't start since my xorg.conf file said /dev/mouse instead of /dev/input/mice. Once I made that last change everythign seemed to come up fine. Now to see if this gets me closer to fixing the permissions problem for ivtv. thanks! - Mark On 5/21/05, Tim Igoe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Install udev as in portage.

(2.6.11-gentoo-r9) Tell it to use udev by adding "gentoo=nodevfs" to your kernel-commandline. Other way: Remove support for "/dev filesystem" (DEVFS) from your kernel.

Re: [gentoo-user] Switch from devfs to udev?
Install udev as in portage. Then edit the kernel to remove devfs - recompile and reboot. Job done, it should say using udev at bootup.
