Description David Zeuthen 2007-07-30 03:18:59 UTC

udev-113-6.fc6

No modules are loaded by start_udev; the culprit is in 05-udev-early-rules; you
need to use /sbin/modprobe instead of just modprobe for the RUN rule. Please fix
this ASAP, thanks.

Comment 1 David Zeuthen 2007-07-30 03:20:13 UTC

I meant udev-113-6.fc8 of course.

Comment 2 Harald Hoyer 2007-07-30 06:49:14 UTC

udev-113-6.fc8? udev-113-7.fc8 is the latest... please check again, also if
there are *.newrpm

Comment 4 David Zeuthen 2007-07-30 15:37:07 UTC

udev rules should never ever get marked as %config(noreplace); they are *not*
end-user configuration files and treating them as such will only help to make
Fedora more broken especially with all the recent bustage. 

Please reconsider changing this.

Comment 5 Kay Sievers 2007-07-30 16:30:39 UTC

I don't mark udev rules as noreplace in SUSE too. We should be able to overwrite
the "default" rules with a package update, because there are always non-trivial
inter-dependencies between the different rules files, and missing one or more of
the files may produce very unexpected results. Users should add their own rules
files for their needs, instead of editing the system supplied ones. Maybe we
should install them read-only to give a hint about that?

Comment 6 Harald Hoyer 2007-07-30 16:39:38 UTC

udev-113-8.fc7

Comment 7 Harald Hoyer 2007-07-30 16:41:03 UTC

yep... read-only and a header stating that these files will be overriden by the
next update.

Comment 8 David Zeuthen 2007-07-30 17:16:36 UTC

Harald, thanks for fixing this. I would suggest even stronger language in the
header of the files; something like

# This file is crucial for normal system operation.
# Editing this file may cause your system to malfunction.
# The contents of this file may be replaced on package updates.
# See udev(7) for more information.

and then we can add some stuff to the udev man page about this?
