 Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2005 6:22 pm Post subject: A "minor" problem with udev |
 |
|
I decided to use udev on my notebook. I think I have followed all the steps that I found on this forum. I modified the /conf.d/rc file, I emerge udev, hotplug, I build in the kernel support for hotplug. But, something is not right.
When I boot I get the following message:
Mounting proc at /proc
Mounting sysfs at /sys
can't create lock file /etc/mtab~1164: Read only file system (use -n flag to override)
Mounting ramfs at /dev
Configuring system to use udev
Mounting devpts at /dev/pts
Activating swap
Remounting root filesystem read-only
Checking root filesystem
Failed to open the device '/dev/hda5': No such file or directory
/sbin/rc: line 250: rc_splash:command not found
Filesystem couldn't be fixed 
/dev/console: No such file or directory
And then it asks me to give the root password for maintenance
/dev/hda5 is the / partition
I have baselayout 1.9.4
What I am missing? Is something with the kernel, baselayout, or something else?
Thank you |

The solution was to change
| Code: |
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="no"
RC_DEVICES="udev"
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no"
|
to
| Code: |
RC_NET_STRICT_CHECKING="yes"
# RC_DEVICES="udev"
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="yes"
|
Is it OK if I use the second? Does anybody know why I can not use the first? |

I read this but I did not understand where I am suppose to execute these commands. Should I execute them when I am using the LiveCD or when I am in Gentoo? |

I don't get the "mounting ramfs at /dev" thing at boot, but I have also followed all the necessry steps (or so I think after having read a lot of guides) to get a working udev system. What can I do/try/check to solve it? I use the very lastest stable 2005.1 AMD64 Gentoo.
On the other hand, where is the boot log? I'd like to take a closer look at it and show it here to help people help me.
Thanks in advance. |

You can install the app-admin/showconsole package to log console output during boot to /var/log/boot.msg.

Thanks for the info. I just emerged app-admin/showconsole.
Does it need any kind of configuration, or does it work "out of the emerging"  ? |

You also need to enable it in /etc/conf.d/rc: RC_BOOTLOG="yes"
