From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051103 Fedora/1.5-0.5.0.rc1 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: After upgrading to 075-2 yesterday, i found my system unable to load X and a lot of other programs, and the problem appeared to be missing devices nodes in /dev. Not everything is missing, but most is, like audio devices, the whole /dev/input dir, serial ports, tv card, etc... I don't know if this is udev related, cause i updated about 200 packages, but udev seems the most logical choice, so i put it here... I can't test with an older version, cause i can only find 075-2 and FC4 versions, and FC4 versions probably don't work anymore on rawhide. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udev-075-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install udev 075 (and possibly other packages) 2. Reboot the system 3. Actual Results: A lot of device nodes are missing Additional info: I don't know if this is related, but i also get these error messages when loading udev: /sbin/start_udev: line 220: /sys/bus/*/devices/*/uevent: No such file or directory /sbin/start_udev: line 220: /sys/class/*/*/uevent: No such file or directory /sbin/start_udev: line 220: /sys/block/*/uevent: No such file or directory /sbin/start_udev: line 220: /sys/block/*/*/uevent: No such file or directory Also, i'm running a 2.6.14 vanilla kernel.
ah, ok, vanilla kernel... I have to make start_udev more flexible in this case.
should be fixed with udev-075-3
Could you please try the version from ftp://people.redhat.com/harald/udev/075-4/
I haven't tried 075-3, but I can confirm this to be fixed in 075-4. I don't get any boot errors nor miss any device nodes with this version.
075-4 also fixed this for me.
