I don't think all device subsystems are udev-compatible at the moment (the 'input' subsystem rings a bell here). Additionally, I don't think we handle 'coldplug' events correctly, somewhat ironically, without the 'hotplug' scripts around. Alexander will no doubt correct me on the above though :)
It was a coldplug event which prompted me to write. Udev has broken kernel firmware loading using the hotplug scripts. The solution is to use udev-067 and compile it with make udevdir=/dev EXTRAS=extras/firmware && make udevdir=/dev EXTRAS=extras/firmware install and then add this line to udev-config-3.rules (it is one line, sorry if it gets wrapped) ACTION="add", SUBSYSTEM="firmware", FIRMWARE="*", PROGRAM="/sbin/firmware_helper %k" Would it be possible to have those changes added to the book? -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
