Description Ralf Ertzinger 2004-09-02 17:36:28 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2)
Gecko/20040809

Description of problem:
udev is not being started by rc.sysinit due to a change in udev,
leading to all kinds of mysterious failures while booting.

In /etc/rc.sysinit, the line stating

if [ "$USE_UDEV" = "yes" -a "$UDEV_RAMFS" = "yes" ]; then

has to be changed to

if [ "$USE_UDEV" = "yes" -a "$UDEV_TMPFS" = "yes" ]; then

to keep track with udev.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.74-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  udev is not started

Expected Results:  udev must start and fix device permissions

Additional info:
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2004-09-02 19:02:56 UTC 
fixed in 7.76 or so.
Comment 2 Harald Hoyer 2004-09-23 10:34:34 UTC 
Ok, new changes.
Bill, please change the rc.sysinit udev part to this:

[ -x /sbin/start_udev ] && /sbin/start_udev

no need to source udev.conf, just call it.
The second start_udev, after remount rw should be removed also.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2004-09-23 15:36:26 UTC 
Already done in current builds.
