yes it sounds like udev, but this is clfs-embedded, using mdev. I haven't got round to trying to build embedded yet, and I don't know how mdev works - I assume it is part of busybox, and probably does mount /dev in a similar way, but I don't see the detail from a quick scan of the book. > > However, when I log into my build environment, I can clearly see > > $CLFS/dev/null and $CLFS/dev/console and their permissions are set > > correctly and appear to be fine. > > During boot, though, a tmpfs is mounted over /dev and populated by > udev. So, you won't see those devices unles you umounted the tmpfs. So yes, it probably does hide the real null and console. Colin, is your /etc/mdev.conf complete and readable ? What did you change when you last worked on it ? ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce _______________________________________________ Clfs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cross-lfs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clfs-dev
