Mine is Debian Etch, normally with the latest released or -rcX kernel from kernel.org. Updates current as of about 18 hours ago. Udev package version is 0.105-4. The RELEASE-NOTES file in /usr/share/doc/udev says "udev 105". > You are booting your kernel with an initramfs?

I can answer the above later when I'm back in front of the machine, but even in the "not good" case, I still see the following messages from the /etc/rcS.d/S03udev file: Starting the hotplug events dispatcher udevd. Synthesizing the initial hotplug events. This is where udevtrigger gets called, followed by the load_input_modules and create_dev_makedev functions, then... Waiting for /dev to be fully populated. which is where udevsettle gets called. None of the above appear to be exiting abnormally for the bad case, but I'll definitely take a closer look at what MAKEDEV (/dev/MAKEDEV --> /sbin/MAKEDEV) is doing. In particular, Debian MAKEDEV is looking at /proc/devices to decide what to do, so maybe "cat /proc/devices" would be useful to look at for the broken case. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Tracy | "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist- " rct@...s.com | - Last words of Union General John Sedgwick, | Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, U.S. Civil War ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
