Hello Everybody,
686-pc-linux-gnu (B)LFS, 2.6.21.3,
UDEV-112
1. In "Device and Module Handling on an LFS system":
there are two mentions about the bus driver exporting
aliases to somewhere in the '/sys/bus' branch.
Once, indirectly, in "7.4.2.4 Module Loading" and
once literally, in "7.4.3.1 ... not loaded ...",
"try locating the device directory under /sys/bus and
check whether there is a modalias file there."
On my system, there's plenty of 'modalias' files all
over the place ('/sys/class', '/sys/devices')
but not in '/sys/bus'.
The document looks up-to-date (for example, the word
"2.6.21.5" can be seen in a couple of places).
What gives? Something wrong with my system?
2. In 'udev_retry':
'for file in /dev/.udev/tmp-rules--* ...'
On my system '/dev/.udev/' contains subdirectories
'db', 'failed' and 'names', with occasional sightings
of subdirectory 'queue' (during boot).
What gives?
Could my 'failed' be the elusive 'tmp-rules--*'?
I didn't spot any rules there.
3. In 'udev' I noticed that appending '--timeout=3'
to 'udevsettle' speeds up the boot considerably
while not missing any devices in doing that.
Obviously, the mileage may vary from "3" on
another machine.
On rare occasions, I count on 'udev_retry' to spring
into action and round up any reluctant device that
somehow managed to escape the first catch attempt.
Is there anything wrong with my approach?
Any help/clarifications are highly appreciated,
Thanks,
-- Alex
