[Mageia-dev] New errors during boot (since latest Cauldron updates)
The first error has been around for some time udevd (directory not writable) - but the OSINFO errors are new: Starting udev: udevd[133]: error: runtime directory '/run/udev' not writable, for now falling back to '/dev/.udev' ^[[85G[^[[1;32m OK ^[[0;39m] udevd[134]: unknown key 'OSINFO_BOOTABLE' in /lib/udev/rules.d/95-osinfo.rules:30 udevd[134]: unknown key 'OSINFO_INSTALLER' in /lib/udev/rules.d/95-osinfo.rules:30 udevd[134]: unknown key 'OSINFO_BOOTABLE' in /lib/udev/rules.d/95-osinfo.rules:36 udevd[134]: unknown key 'OSINFO_INSTALLER' in /lib/udev/rules.d/95-osinfo.rules:36 Systems seems to work fine so far.

Can you state which init system you are using, sysvinit or udev. And also can you state which initrd generator you are using, mkinitrd or dracut.

Col sysvinit I believe (how can I confirm this?) and mkinitrd (simply did a cauldron update which included a kernel update - don't even have dracut installed. Hope this helps. Cheers, Robert

Col sysvinit I believe (how can I confirm this?) and mkinitrd (simply did a cauldron update which included a kernel update - don't even have dracut installed. Yeah this is probably just udev not liking the fact that mkinitrd does not setup /run as a tmpfs mount. Dracut runs udev from the initrd and thus setups up /run etc. So please try installing dracut and regenerating the initrd: dracut -f /boot/initrd-3.1.4-desktop-2.mga2.img Make sure you have a working initrd saved just in case you need it before running this command: e.g. cp /boot/initrd-3.1.4-desktop-2.mga2.img /boot/arg.img This way you can always edit your grub command to specify this initrd manually in the case of a hideous failure! We'll likely be forcing dracut on people pretty soon anyway and might drop mkinitrd completely from mga2, so it's worth giving us feedback if you can :) Cheers Col -- Colin Guthrie colin(at)mageia.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/
