Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2007 14:16:25 +0000 From: Andrew Walrond <andrew@...rond.org> To: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: Initramfs and /sbin/hotplug fun If the initramfs root filesystem contains /sbin/hotplug, the kernel starts calling it very early in the kernel boot process, well before /init has been called. In my case this resulted in lots of hotplug segfault messages as the kernel boots, followed by a thoroughly unhappy hotplug+udev once /init actually gets control. To solve this, I deleted /sbin/hotplug from the initramfs archive and modified /init to reinstate it once it gets control. This works fine, but seems inelegant. Is there a better solution? Should sbin/hotplug be called at all before the kernel has passed control to /init?
