This is the totally wrong approach. Fix the kernel module to use the proper sysfs API like all the other modules do. |
Description of problem: At execution of rule file kernel major number is not known. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-095-14.9.el5 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: First time we have tried writing a udev rules file for unique hardware. Here is our rules file. #PROGRAM=="/bin/sh -c "cat /proc/devices | grep -w uceipci | cut -d' ' -f1", MAJOR="%c" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", SYSFS{vendor}=="0x13c6", SYSFS{device}=="0x1553", RUN+="/bin/mknod --mode=666 /dev/uceipci_0 c 253 0" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", SYSFS{vendor}=="0x13c6", SYSFS{device}=="0x1553", RUN+="/bin/mknod --mode=666 /dev/uceipci_1 c 253 1" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", SYSFS{vendor}=="0x13c6", SYSFS{device}=="0x1553", RUN+="/bin/mknod --mode=666 /dev/uceipci_2 c 253 2" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", SYSFS{vendor}=="0x13c6", SYSFS{device}=="0x1553", RUN+="/bin/mknod --mode=666 /dev/uceipci_3 c 253 3" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", SYSFS{vendor}=="0x13c6", SYSFS{device}=="0x1553", RUN+="/bin/mknod --mode=666 /dev/uceipci_4 c 253 4" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", SYSFS{vendor}=="0x13c6", SYSFS{device}=="0x1553", RUN+="/bin/mknod --mode=666 /dev/uceipci_5 c 253 5" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", SYSFS{vendor}=="0x13c6", SYSFS{device}=="0x1553", RUN+="/bin/mknod --mode=666 /dev/uceipci_6 c 253 6" ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", SYSFS{vendor}=="0x13c6", SYSFS{device}=="0x1553", RUN+="/bin/mknod --mode=666 /dev/uceipci_7 c 253 7" Tried using the first line to define the major number but it did not work. Driver loads but device entries were not being created.
