"Why does emerging udev-119 not result in removing hotplug? Yesterday we emerged udev-119 and all of a sudden - after a reboot - we had a lot of devices missing in /dev/ - ie the tty devices where all missing, ssh was not starting, as a result of that the system was very slow etc. We searched for hours and also considered entering Unix Domain Sockets as module but that was all in vain and not the proper solution! The very simple solution was "emerge -C hotplug". Obviously hotplug is not needed anymore with udev-119 but because it was still there it started an old version of udev and the new version of udev could not properly function! After removing hotplug all was fine! Your feedback is very welcome! Best Zeno Reproducible: Always" - Zeno Davatz
