I still cannot boot though. I am currently using a livecd and chrooting into the system. I have added a few echo's to the /etc/rc.d/init.d/udev script. It fails somehow in combination with /sbin/udevsettle. The error return value is 1.
Yes, this is bad. If udevtrigger and udevsettle don't work, then you don't have devices.
I guess I am not. Mind you, I do NOT have kernel 2.6.15 or upwards. I still have 2.6.14.6.
Update right now to 2.6.15 or 2.6.16. Both newer udev and hal expect to use kernel features that weren't introduced until very recently. Read the READMEs and NEWSs in both packages. 2.6.15 should probably be sufficient, but if you're going to upgrade, you might as well go all the way and grab 2.6.16.
I noticed this in the udev script: echo > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug What is that supposed to achieve?
You're telling the kernel that nothing is the hotplug handler. The kernel attempts to run the contents of that file on hotplug events. But, the kernel doesn't need to do anything extra because udev does it. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
