Description Michal Jaegermann 2004-09-08 19:59:52 UTC

Description of problem:

While booting with UDEV_TMPFS=yes and selinux=0 I am getting
on a screen:

Making extra nodes:  MAKEDEV: /dev/fd0: unable to reset file creation
context
MAKEDEV: /dev/fd1: unable to reset file creation context
.....  (long list skipped ) .....
MAKEDEV: /dev/net/tun: unable to reset file creation context
MAKEDEV: /dev/nvidiactl: unable to reset file creation context

What "file creation context"?  I have not only selinux=0 in
kernel boot parameters but even SELINUX=disabled in
/etc/sysconfig/selinux.  While I do not know what would happen
if I would enable these in the current situation MAKEDEV
definitely should not complain.

A sort of a nasty workaround here is to do in /sbin/start_udev

     make_extra_nodes >/dev/null 2>&1 && .....

instead of the current

     make_extra_nodes && .....

but this would not help at all with later MAKEDEV invocations.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
MAKEDEV-3.11-1

How reproducible:
Always
