I may be writing to the wrong list but this post caught
my attention.
I recently completed LFS Book 6.0 using the 2.6.8.1
kernel compiled with loadable modules.
As I had been warned, this might not have been a
smart idea. I have been unable to dynamically create
/dev nodes for my plugin devices like usb-storage,
usb camera and so on.
Yesterday I compiled the 2.6.10 kernel without directing
/sbin/hotplug -> /sbin/true .
Now the device nodes are created dynamically.
When I plug in my usb-storage, "ls /dev" shows new
creation of /dev/sda and /dev/sda1, so I can
"mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb-storage"
and rw the files on this vfat-formatted device.
Same for the dcim files on the usb camera and so on.
I haven't seen any posts about this.
Everyone knows already?
I will provide more details if anyone interested.
Ken.
