Thanks! It works. One typo on line 20: cp {vdev-snapshot,}/usr/et/vdev/acls/00-whitelist-root.acl should be /usr/etc not /usr/et I'm testing on a system that doesn't have a display manager. Things are working on the console. When I run startx and get to the desktop, touchpad and mouse don't work. Seems like the keyboard doesn't work then, except for ctrl-alt-sysrq-k to kill the xsession. ps ax shows that vdev is not running. If I start it with '/etc/init.d/vdev start' that doesn't fix the mouse and keyboard problem. When I run 'tail -f /var/log/messages' I can see the connect/disconnect messages when I plug/unplug the mouse. It also sees when I plug in a usb thumb drive, but it's not getting a device name. (it should be /dev/sdb) and fdisk -l doesn't show it. I just tried booting with init=/bin/bash and starting vdev manually. vdev exits with an error: libudev/util.c:0156 vdev_log_redirect: ERROR fopen('/usr/var/log/vdev/vdevd.log') rc = -30 main.c:0094 main: ERROR vdev_log_redirect('/usr/var/log/vdev/vdevd.log') rc = -30 and then DEBUG vdev shutdown if I do 'exec /sbin/init' I get the same errors for vdev, and then it continues to boot. What next? -fsr _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
