From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux; X11; en_US) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: On my lBM ThinkPad T42 laptop I have HSF modem drivers installed. With 7.93.x versions everything works fine. With 8.00 and 8.01 I am getting an error message (right after udev creates devices) that the device /dev/hsfdcp0 cannot be found (some hsf module is looking for it). Consequently non of the hsf stuff is started. I am not running selinux. Here is the HSF stuff from modprobe.conf: alias /dev/ttySHSF[0-9]* /dev/ttySHSF alias /dev/modem /dev/ttySHSF alias char-major-240 /dev/ttySHSF alias char-major-240-* /dev/ttySHSF options hsfserial serialmajor=240 alias char-major-242 hsfosspec alias char-major-242-* hsfosspec alias /dev/hsfdiag hsfosspec alias /dev/hsfdiag* /dev/hsfdiag alias char-major-243 /dev/hsfdiag alias char-major-243-* /dev/hsfdiag options hsfosspec dcpmajor=242 diagmajor=243 install /dev/ttySHSF /sbin/modprobe hsfpcibasic2; /sbin/modprobe hsfmc97ich; /sbin/modprobe hsfmc97via; /sbin/modprobe hsfmc97ali; [ -e /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/hsfusbcd2.ko ]&& /sbin/modprobe hsfusbcd2; /bin/true Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-8.01-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.update initscripts to 8.01 2.reboot 3. Additional info:
alias /dev/XXX seems wrong. If the HSF files are looking for devices, they probably need to put their scripts that are looking for them in /etc/dev.d.
These were put in there automatically BUT they seem to work fine with initscripts 7.93.x (everything else being the same). I can't see by looking into rc.sysinit which difference is causing this.
Does this work any better with FC4? Exactly what sort of config and script modifications (outside of the modprobe.conf snippet above) do you have? It looks like an error in the added handlers for that device.
Closing due to lack of response by reporter.
