I think the udev update has somehow broken some functionality in
gensplash. Previously it was possible to use F2 via evdev to switch
between 2 virtual consoles during startup. Here's the code that enables
evdev for gensplash (it's not fully implemented):
splash_evdev_prep()
{
if [[ -e /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/evdev.ko ]] ; then
modprobe evdev
local t=$(grep -Hsi keyboard
/sys/class/input/event*/device/driver/description | grep -o 'event[0-9]\+')
if [[ -n "${t}" ]]; then
splash_comm_send "set event dev /dev/input/${t}"
fi
fi
}
I can only guess that the new udev has screwed this up somehow - i
switched back to the previous -3 release and it is fine. I wonder if
some side effect has been overlooked in the updated udev code?
