Nah, I resintalled and got the same. I have to boot 'read-write' and create
a /fastboot to avoid fscks...

Do you boot a mdk standard kernel ? then you are using devfs, but perhaps no
devfsd. So devfs is mounted rw, and initscripts work. But I use a custom
kernel with no support for devfs.

I can switch to devfs, but perhaps many people do not like itand it should
work.

I had this too. (I'm not using devfs)
Booted from a rescue disk chroot to /mnt and reinstalled dev, MAKEDEV, devfsd
After this the boot was OK.





[Cooker] BROKEN boot sequence: /dev/null in ro filesystem

2002-09-10 Thread J.A. Magallon

Hi all.

After upgrading to latest cooker, I can't boot no more like before.
ie: I had 'read-only' flag in lilo.conf, and everything worked.
Now, the init sequence starts so spit:

/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line xxx: /dev/null: Read-only filesystem.

And it is true, there are tons of > /dev/null before / is remounted rw.
It blocks, I type Ctrl-C and tries to start, but fsck fails and drops me
to a shell. I had to set root fs 'read-write' in lilo.conf and create
a /fastboot to get a normal startup.

Perhaps this works ok with devfs, and is broken in a non-devfs setup
(like mine??)

TIA
