pci.ids play no role for creating the file. It's just a warning. File creation was done by udev rules which ran specific scripts, but upstream removed that functionality with systemd merge, and Bruce has been working on new way to write those rules. pci.ids is part of PCI Utilis package from BLFS, usb.ids is part of USB Utils from BLFS, too. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
