Yes, and that won't change soon. We're using udev on 2.6 though and have a devfs compatability schema. The problem I saw was on 2.6. > I'm confused: what exactly are you trying to do? (You're using init > without an inittab, or...?) inittab contains: ::sysinit:/sbin/debian-installer-startup ::respawn:/sbin/debian-installer vc/2::askfirst:/bin/sh vc/3::respawn:/usr/bin/tail -f /var/log/messages vc/4::respawn:/usr/bin/tail -f /var/log/syslog ::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown > /dev/null 2>&1 ::restart:/sbin/init > The general debain installer people might like svn 14606, which > makes it so busybox 1.1.1 doesn't need to have the tty nodes created > at the time the inittab is read, but instead checks when it tries to > spawn the process on that tty... > http://busybox.net/downloads/patches/svn-14606.patch Oh, great. I'll give that a try. This might solve the original problem I reported a few weeks ago. I'll get back to you but it will take a while - I'm leaving for holidays soon (actually,should go to bed since I've to get up in 2.5 hours again) and then moving to another country...
