Hi,
I must be doing something wrong cause LFS-7.1 has been out for a while and
noone has complained yet about udev-181/182.
Here's my problem: I have a custom initramfs that works perfectly well with
udev-173. When the *only* thing I supplant in the initramfs image is
udev-173 with udev-181/182 (everything else remains the same), the kernel
populates /sys with all the correct data (meaning all devices are there) and
udev sees them, but does not create the device nodes under /dev. The only
things it creates are:
btrfs-control
char
fd
fuse
kmsg
log
mapper
net
ppp
snd
stderr
stdin
stdout
I have to create manually /dev/tty1 to be able to get even a console.
Here's what I do in my initramfs's init script:
mkdir -p /run
mount -n -t tmpfs tmpfs /run
mkdir -p /run/{var,lock,shm,udev}
chmod 1777 /run/shm
mount -o nosuid,noexec,nodev -t proc proc /proc
mount -o nosuid,noexec,nodev -t sysfs sysfs /sys
mount -o mode=0755,nosuid -t tmpfs tmpfs /dev -o mode=755
ln -s /run/shm /dev/shm
echo > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug
/sbin/udevd --daemon (moved /lib/udev/udevd to /sbin for convenience, but even
with /lib/udev/udevd --daemon it still doesn't work)
/sbin/udevadm trigger --action=add --type=subsystems
/sbin/udevadm trigger --action=add --type=devices
/sbin/udevadm settle --timeout=15
I haven't tried udev-18x with a harddisk only boot, as I require initramfs
(disk encryption). For now I've stuck with udev-173, but I want to stay
current with LFS development and move to 18x.
Any suggestions what I could be doing wrong? I have debugging output from
udevd if anyone cares to view it.
Thanks,
IvanK.
