dev entries on bootup don't exist

I've updated several system packages to the latest version and now upon bootup several /dev devices are no longer found

/dev/hda50, /dev/hda55, /dev/i2c-0 and /dev/i2c/0 to name the few i've seen. I'm sure all the other /dev/hda5x partitions for the xbox hdd don't exist either.

Where do those /dev entries get created? I mounted up the stardust rootfs on my CentOS machine and don't see them in it's /dev either.

Is there anyway to get the bootup output messages all logged to a file? Don't see the messages I'm looking for in 'dmesg' output.

You probably broke devfsd.

Think so, looks like "emerge system" installed udev even though it's not a 2.6 kernel.

Uhm I did the same thing...I tried to automount usb devices when connected...I read somewhere that you needed udev; so I emerged it

Not knowing you need the 2.6 kernel (I have 2.4). My system still kinda works, but on startup I get some strange errors (can't mount some fs ?!)

Is it possible to unmerge udev? Should I?
thnx in advance!

you could try booting with rescutoox and chroot to your current install, theres info on this using the search function
