The directories shm and pts are not created automagically in /dev anymore. I just realized, however, that I have no idea how they had come to exist before. Using 2.6.15.4 and udev-084. In the udev instructions, add 'mkdir /lib/udev/devices/{shm,pts}' to the first instruction block.
Yeah, how odd. Those instructions are in my build scripts. I wonder why I didn't put them in the book!
Also, /sbin/udevstart probably ain't gonna work too well. ;-)
Yeah, I know. I haven't yet figured out how best to fix that one though. I've got a feeling that walking sysfs to trigger the uvents may be host kernel specific, but am not entirely sure. Maybe it'd be best to build udevstart simply so we can populate /dev in the chroot. Alternatively, what purpose does populating /dev do at this stage? Does something we build later on actually require devices in there that we haven't yet got available to us?
