Forwarding from blfs-dev, where an ALSA related thread went just a
little off-topic for BLFS :)
Thanks Alexander, I'll try to get these changes in a.s.a.p.

I'll have to bite the bullet and see to getting all the module
hotplugging related bugs sorted out
This means just the following steps:
1) Upgrade udev to 071 to resolve the udev_run_hotplugd installation bug
2) Add these two rules to LFS default rules file:
ENV{UDEVD_EVENT}=="1", RUN+="/sbin/udev_run_hotplugd"
RUN+="/sbin/udev_run_devd"
3) Change instructions to:
make EXTRAS=extras/run_directory/
make EXTRAS=extras/run_directory/ install
cp ../udev-config-5.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/25-lfs.rules
install -m644 -D docs/writing_udev_rules/index.html \
/usr/share/doc/udev-071/index.html
After that ends up in the book, we can try eliminating the hotplug
package gradually. E.g., for a start, build the firmware helper in
EXTRAS and use it instead of hotplug's firmware.agent.
Some cleanup of the current rules file is also needed. E.g., I would
change the following rules:
KERNEL=="dm-*", GROUP="disk", MODE="0640"
KERNEL=="card*", NAME="dri/card%n", GROUP="video"
to
KERNEL=="dm-*", NAME=""
KERNEL=="card*", NAME=""
in order for udev to completely ignore the corresponding devices. Rationale:
dm: /dev/dm-* is not the proper name for such devices. Both "dmsetup"
and lvm2-related programs make the corresponding devices automatically
and with proper names, without udev and associated races.
card*: the X server makes those devices anyway without any help from
udev. I don't want udev to step on its back (aka race with permissions)
and recreate the devices.
