Bug#385730: usplash: Fail to start because /dev/null is missing

2006-09-02 Thread Petter Reinholdtsen 

Package: usplash
Version: 0.3e
Severity: important
Tags: patch

I just tested usplash in qemu using the latest sid packages and kernel
2.6.17.  It failed to start complaining that /dev/null was missing.
I'm not sure why, but a fix is to create the device in the
init-top/usplash script before starting usplash.  Hree is a patch to
enable it.  I tested with it, and it solved the problem.  It might be
an idea to add some if-test around it to only try to create /dev/null
if it is missing.

/dev/null is currently created by udev-udeb.
If /lib/debian-installer-startup.d/S02udev is not the first script run
at boot time then some other package needs to create static /dev/null and
/dev/console (if for some reason they cannot be part of the root image).
