Also note what it says in the udev README: Setup: - At bootup, the /dev directory should get the 'devtmpfs' filesystem mounted. Udev will manage permissions and ownership of the kernel-created device nodes, and possibly create additional symlinks. If needed, udev also works on an empty 'tmpfs' filesystem, but some static device nodes like /dev/null, /dev/console, /dev/kmsg are needed to be able to start udev itself. Even this appears to be a bit outdated because we don't need /dev/kmsg. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
