update 1.4 - udev high load, no graphics

[checko55]

Hi there,

I just did the update to 1.4 following the instructions. 

Finally after solving some dependency issues the system now compile without any problems.

Unfortunately I can't start xdm anymore using sddm and KDE as DE. As soon as I start xdm the computer freezes and I can't do anything.

I found out that the computer is still available by ssh and stuff like htop works, a reboot does not.

I'm not sure if that is connected but udevd is generating 100% cpu load right after boot and dmesg gives me following message

worker [5203] /devices/pci0000:40/0000:40:03.1/0000:41:00.0 is taking a long time

The kernel I use is a self generated 4.19.27-gentoo-r1 that worked before the update and should not be the problem I guess.

I have added the gfx-card-nvidia mix-in since I'm using the NVIDIA drivers.

 

Thanks in advance for any help.

Please check if /etc/boot.conf got updated and nomodeset added. If so, this needs removed and ego boot updated re-ran, then a system reboot. Seems to be the Bug du jour.

Hi,

no changes were made to boot.conf

Can I check why udev is causing high load or can udev be stopped in any way?

Hi again,

I tried to get a little further here and maybe I have some more useful information.

When I delete udev and udev-trigger from sysinit via rc-update sddm starts and login screen comes up. Unfortunately without any devices like

network, keyboard or mouse loaded. As soon as I switch on udev again there is 100% load caused by udev and if I start sddm same behaviour as before, the

computer freezes and I can only reset it.

Did a complete comilation of the system via @world without any problems, but still the same problem.

 

Maybe someone got a hint where the issue comes from?

Thanks in advance.
