Hi, I've been tracking a problem with ALSA on my system. The symptom is that the soundcard remains muted after system boot. I traced it back to the point that '/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf' needs to be reachable when 'udev' calls 'alsactl' during the boot sequence. However, this is not the case if '/usr' is a separate partition. The lfs-bootscripts call 'udev' before 'mountfs' in '/etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d', hence making 'alsactl' fail.
(Note: I did move 'alsactl' to '/sbin' and modified the bootscripts and the udev-rules accordingly. Also 'udev-retry' won't do the job, if you don't modify anything.) Do you think this a problem worth fixing? If so, where and how should it be fixed? In ALSA, in LFS or in BLFS? Thanks for you opinion, Lars -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
