Description Harald Hoyer 2005-11-21 06:56:05 EST

remove the sysctl in rc.sysinit which sets hotplug

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2005-11-21 06:57:20 EST

and also not in /etc/init.d/network

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2005-11-21 12:19:34 EST

Details?

How do you temporarily turn off uevent handling in udev, then? Kill it? :)

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2005-11-21 12:36:43 EST

since udevd uses netlink, udevsend would be overkill... also please move
udev-075-4 from fc5-head to fc5

Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2005-11-21 12:38:06 EST

in udev-075-4 I call sysctl for older kernels, which do not use uevent

yes, kill udevd... it connects through netlink to the kernel

Comment 5 Harald Hoyer 2005-11-21 12:38:44 EST

why do you want to turn off uevent handling?

Comment 6 Bill Nottingham 2005-11-21 12:47:04 EST

When /etc/init.d/network, you generally want to ignore any hotplug/uevent events
for network devices, as it's expected that things will be added/removed then.
Of course, this can be fixed in net.agent too.

Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2006-01-06 15:04:36 EST

This is fixed in current, IIRC.
