Aircraft
After takeoff several warnings occurred including gear disagree. The decision was made to return for an overweight landing; emergency was declared. It was determined that the aircraft and runway could safely accommodate the overweight landing. We were relieved that the landing gear came down and locked. A normal landing was made; taxied to gate; passengers and bags were transferred to another aircraft and flight continued.
I was the pilot not flying. Shortly after takeoff; Captain called for gear up. As soon as I placed the gear up several warnings/messages existed on the EICAS screen; 'gear disagree';'auto spoiler'; etc.
When the landing gear handle was raised after takeoff; a B757-200 EICAS alerted GEAR DISAGREE and AUTO SPOILER. An emergency was declared; the gear lowered normally and the flight returned to land overweight.
