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.
