Thanx Alex. I added some notes in what you said so you can know the
thinking and why some things are different.

Should really be in a separate file (let's call it 40-modload.rules),
together with the SCSI module loading rules.
Agreed
+KERNEL=="vcs*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="620",
OPTIONS="last_rule"
+KERNEL=="vcsa*", NAME="%k", GROUP="tty", MODE="620",
OPTIONS="last_rule"
Won't the "vcs*" rule catch "vcsa*" too? Also, LFS uses 0600
permissions (group is irrelevant then).
Have to test. Thanx for the recommendation
+KERNEL=="pppox*", NAME="%k", GROUP="uucp"
LFS has no such rule, "modprobe pppox" doesn't produce anything in
/sts/class with the name starting with "pppox". In the default udev
rules, this appears to be SuSE-specific. But I am not an expert on pppox.
I got a friend who's going to test that
+KERNEL=="ircomm*", NAME="%k", GROUP="uucp"
LFS uses GROUP="dialout"
We have the uucp group in cross-lfs
+KERNEL=="modems/mwave*", NAME="%k", GROUP="uucp"
+KERNEL=="hvc*", NAME="%k", GROUP="uucp"
+KERNEL=="hvsi*", NAME="%k", GROUP="uucp"
+KERNEL=="iseries/vtty*", NAME="%k", GROUP="uucp"
Looks SUSE-specific and even bogus. KERNEL names cannot contain a slash.
Unfortunatly the mwave modems do have this recommendation, never
understood why.
+KERNEL=="nvidia*", NAME="%k", GROUP="video"
+KERNEL=="nvidiactl*", NAME="%k", GROUP="video"
"nvidia*" also covers nvidiactl
I'll have to give it a shot
+KERNEL=="pmu", GROUP="video"
Not in LFS. What is it?
Power Mangement Unit powerpc related
+KERNEL=="input[0-9]*", ACTION=="add", RUN+="input.sh"
You recommend the -gregkh kernel patch, thus you can drop this hack in
favour of proper input modalias support in the kernel.
Should work, just haven't testit
+# printer
parport devices are missing. LFS uses this:
KERNEL=="parport[0-9]*", GROUP="lp"
but this is also questionable because raw parport devices are used for
things not related to printing, such as parallel port cnanners and the
devices that program EEPROMs and some other chips.
Will add
+# fix floppy devices
+KERNEL=="nvram", ACTION=="add", RUN+="load_floppy_module.sh"
Belongs to 40-modload.rules
Good point
+ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM="scsi" , SYSFS{type}=="0|7|14",
RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 60 > /sys/$DEVPATH/timeout'"
+ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM="scsi" , SYSFS{type}=="1", RUN+="/bin/sh -c
'echo 900 > /sys/$DEVPATH/timeout'"
Belong to separate file, 39-scsi-tweaks.rules
Possibily
+SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_device", ACTION=="add",
SYSFS{device/type}=="0|7|14", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe sd_mod"
+SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_device", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{device/type}=="1",
SYSFS{device/vendor}=="On[sS]tream", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe osst"
+SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_device", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{device/type}=="1",
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe st"
+SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_device", ACTION=="add", SYSFS{device/type}=="[45]",
RUN+="/sbin/modprobe sr_mod"
+SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_device", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe sg"
Please move to 40-modload.rules
Good ide
+# load IDE modules
+SUBSYSTEM=="ide", ACTION=="add", RUN+="ide.sh"
You recommend the -gregkh kernel patch, so drop this. No longer needed.
Haven't tested yet
+KERNEL=="sg*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk", MODE="640"
This is not only for disks, but for every SCSI device: disks, CD-RWs,
tapes, scanners, etc. So the LFS root-only default seems better.
Good point
+KERNEL=="st*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
+KERNEL=="nst*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
We gave the "tape" group, why not use it?
Good point
+KERNEL=="initrd", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
Isn't this a block device already caught by SUBSYSTEM=="block"?
Will have to test
+KERNEL=="qft*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
+KERNEL=="nqft*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
+KERNEL=="zqft*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
+KERNEL=="nzqft*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
+KERNEL=="rawqft*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
+KERNEL=="nrawqft*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
+KERNEL=="npt*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
+KERNEL=="osst*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
+KERNEL=="nosst*", NAME="%k", GROUP="disk"
These devices are tapes, aren't they?
yup
+# kernel firmware loader
+SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", RUN+="firmware_helper"
Belongs to 38-misc-helpers.rules together with the obsolete
run_hotplugd program (needed so that HAL is not broken in BLFS).
Possibly
ALSA and other sound devices: entire section
Looking around to see how others handle the sound stuff
