The udev script already does mount /dev if needed. I suspect you're running into a different bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 133465 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
After upgrading to Initscripts 7.84-1 and udev-032, I now get this message upon booting with a non-Fedora or other kernel not built with an initrd: Welcome to Fedora Core Press 'I' to enter interactive startup. Mounting... tmpfs at /dev/: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock o, or too many mounted file systems Making extra nodes: ln: creating symbolic link `/dev//fd' to `/proc/self/fd': m ln: creating symbolic link `/dev//stdin' to `/proc/self/fd/0': Read- only file sm ln: creating symbolic link `/dev//stdout' to `/proc/self/fd/1': Read- only file m ln: creating symbolic link `/dev//stderr' to `/proc/self/fd/2': Read- only file m ln: creating symbolic link `/dev//core' to `/proc/kcore': Read-only file system MAKEDEV: error making /dev/fd1: Read-only file system ln: creating symbolic link `/dev/MAKEDEV' to `/sbin/MAKEDEV': Read- only file sym [FAILED] Starting udev: rm: cannot remove `/dev//.udev.tdb': Read-only file system [FAILED] Initializing hardware... storage network audio done[ OK ] This is because udev is now started much earlier on in the boot sequence - too early, in so far as it now starts before a rw filesystem is mounted on /dev. It comes down to either building with an initrd, or using a Fedora kernel as a non-initrd kernel will not boot without this message. It also screws up the operation of udev, which expects to have MAKEDEV and also the abovementioned devices available on boot. To accomodate this, perhaps the initscripts could check for the presence of a rw /dev, and if not, either delay the udev start till after the filesystems have been mounted rw, or else mount a rw tmpfs on /dev so that start_udev can run without error ?
