Description Michal Jaegermann 2004-08-22 00:52:50 UTC
Description of problem:

When booting with 'udev' I see:

Switching to new root
INIT: version 2.85 booting
Making extra nodes:  /sbin/start_udev: line 38: seq: command not found

/usr is not mounted at this point and 'seq' is really /usr/bin/seq
so the complaint is valid.  An obvious patch is to use
....
for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15; do
....
instead of 'for i in `seq 0 15`; do

Actually when booting with initrd made with '--noudev' flag
I see also:

ln: cannot remove `/dev//fd': Read-only file system
ln: cannot remove `/dev//stdin': Read-only file system
ln: cannot remove `/dev//stdout': Read-only file system
ln: cannot remove `/dev//stderr': Read-only file system

Although this seems to be really a fault of /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
which tries to start not really available udev but likely

        ln -snf /proc/self/fd $udev_root/fd
        ln -snf /proc/self/fd/0 $udev_root/stdin
        ln -snf /proc/self/fd/1 $udev_root/stdout
        ln -snf /proc/self/fd/2 $udev_root/stderr
        ln -snf /proc/kcore $udev_root/core

instead of forcing them with '-f' should be guarded by
existence tests.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
udev-030-3
