Fix to allow Unix Domain Sockets as a module

From Gentoo Linux Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The current startup scripts do not load the Unix Domain Sockets module before udevd is started. This causes the udevd startup to fail.

It is necessary to modify the /lib/rcscripts/addons/udev-start.sh script, adding a modprobe command before running udevd. Locate the udevd command and add a modprobe line above it, as shown below: 

 ebegin "Starting udevd"
 modprobe unix           # < ---- ADD THIS LINE TO LOAD UNIX DOMAIN SOCKETS
 /sbin/udevd --daemon
 eend $?
