 Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2008 7:53 pm Post subject: [Solved] Mdev fails to activate at boot |
 |
|
Before compiling a new kernel, mdev activated normally, which makes me believe I messed up a setting someplace or another.
uname -r:
I got it from the gentoo-sources ebuild.
mdev gives out the following error:
ls: : no such file or folder found
Or something of the likes. So what I'm gathering from this is that it needs / to be mounted, but it's trying to activate mdev before mounting root.
Any suggestions?

Yeah! I can swear you don't have an /etc/mdev.conf. Do you?

Just check out the documentation.
It is composed of regexp like this:
| Code: | dsp[0-9]* root:audio 660
fb[0-9]* root:video 660
hd[a-b][0-9]* root:disk 640
|
That's it. Good luck.
By the way, if you can turn a hardware scanner to work please let me know. xsane made me mad about mdev, though I still love the idea and will be trying to use it again with my next distro [...]

Thanks. For some reason, my mdev.conf ate itself or something else deleted it. (I may have even given it permission to delete it when I was up late at midnight by accident)
But now it's working. Woot.
EDIT: I don't have a scanner, never had a use for one. Sorry  |
