[lfs-support] different module directories

[Rob]

Can someone please clarify for me the differences here?
/etc/modules-load.d
/etc/modprobe.d
and the file:
/etc/sysconfig/modules
All these various module dirs are confusing.

The documentation does not mention this step as far as I remember and
see at
http://linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable-systemd/chapter06/systemd.html


Did you check the md5sum?

$ md5sum systemd-231.tar.xz
2647855c8f9cdf824953f1091db2d2b2  systemd-231.tar.xz

$ tar -tf systemd-231.tar.xz|grep configure
systemd-231/configure
systemd-231/configure.ac

Hello,


Are you sure that you're entering the commands correctly? I can confirm
that "configure" exists:

renodr [ ~/Documents/Sources and Scripts Backup/systemd-231 ]$ ls
aclocal.m4DISTRO_PORTING   Makefile.am  READMEtest
build-aux docs Makefile.in  rules tmpfiles.d
catalog   factory  Makefile-man.am  shell-completion  TODO
CODING_STYLE  hwdb man  src   tools
config.h.in   LICENSE.GPL2 network  sysctl.d  units
configure LICENSE.LGPL2.1  NEWS system-preset xorg
configure.ac  m4   po   sysusers.d

That is after a successful decompression of the tarball.

Thank you,

Hello primegonzola,

Didn't download the tarball from the list in the book?

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/stable-systemd/chapter03/packages.html

Results in a configure script which is executable from the download link:

[lfs-support] systemd compilation documentation missing a step

Hello,

I am using the system version 7.10. After unpacking the sources system-231, the 
documentation states you need run configure. That file does not exist i.e. you 
need to run autogen.sh first which will generate the configure file.

The documentation does not mention this step as far as I remember and see at

Following another thread on the list I searched a little about
when the nodes are created and found

https://lwn.net/Articles/330985/

where it states that after the rootfs is mounted by the kernel,
the populated tmpfs is mounted at /dev. The article is not new,
so at least this was the initial design.

Then reading the book on

http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/systemd/chapter07/udev.html

in section 7.3.2.2. Device Node Creation first paragraph, I think
implies that the nodes are created after the tmpfs is mounted on /dev

Could someone please point me to some source that could clear things up?


No it doesn't imply that.  I suppose we could s/be created with/have/ in 
the 2nd sentence, but that's pretty picky.
