It would appear that yaird is not putting the console device in?
When manually creating a boot environment, you need also to manually
copy/create the needed device nodes. It is too complicated for yaird to
deal with device nodes (could be udev, could be udev now but not at
next boot, could be... Just too complicated).
Sorry for being ignorant -- how do I do that?
Isn't this what the prologue template is supposed to do?
TEMPLATE SET
TEMPLATE prologue
BEGIN
# In principle, we don't want device files on the initrd
# image: device numbers can change between kernels.
# Instead, create device files at boot time based on info
# in sysfs. However, /dev/null and /dev/console are needed
# to mount sysfs.
FILE "/dev/null"
FILE "/dev/console"
FILE "/bin/dash"
FILE "/bin/cat"
...
And from /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.15/Documentation/initrd.txt:
We'll describe the loopback device method:
...
4) create the console device (not necessary if using devfs, but it can't
hurt to do it anyway):
# mkdir /mnt/dev
# mknod /mnt/dev/console c 5 1
There isn't much documentation. What do I do?
