A subject was supposed to say "... something ate most of /dev/". It seems that this gobbling is contagious. The next strange thing. An attempt of recovery by reinstalling 'dev' package brought: Cannot install the dev package: mounted devfs detected. error: %pre(dev-3.8.3-1) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping dev-3.8.3-1 'devfs' was never in use on a machine in question but this gives a clue. This is a bogus message from %pre script in dev and responsible for that mess is a lack of synchronization between mkinitrd and initscripts which use different criteria when to employ 'udev' so I end up with very incomplete udev courtesy of initrd as there is no followup. There is a fix for the udev start confusion in initscripts-7.65-1. *** Bug 130516 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This should be fixed in the final releases of udev-containing releases (such as FC3/FC4); moreover, there are notes about how to update to udev with yum. Ergo, closing. |
