Click! ... thinking about I found the possible solution why hd devices show up with a shell inherited environment ... ... the reason is contained in your above statement: hd and sd device do *not* both *immediately* export the environment ... I assume you are using a standard kernel, with statically included ata driver ... the kernel/device startup sequence differes between hd and sd devices. hd devices are present before init startup and do not produce hotplug events (as far as I noted). sd devices produce hotplug events on startup. That leads to the extreme difference of environment setup. hd devices are setup during initial "mdev -s" run ... and inherit the calling shells environment, whereas sd devices are initialized by hotplug events called from scsi kernel threads ... and inherit the kernel threads environment. ... that will explain all noted differences and behavior ... but may need some verification (only solved theoretically). > TERM=linux > GUIPORT=81 > OS=XiniX > USER=root > LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/lib:/home/root/.lib:/home/.everyone/.lib > bootmode=normal > ED=EE > PATH=/home/root/.etc/defaults:/etc/defaults:/home/root/.bin:/home/root/.sbin:/bin:/sbin > > SUPPORT=XYZ > vga=0x314 > PWD=/dev > TZ=EST5EDT > GUISERVER=127.0.0.1 > [email protected] > HOME=/home/root > SHLVL=3 > PIDDIR=/var/run/pids > SVDIR=/var/run/services > VER=0.5 > ADMIN=Dave Is this the environment setting of your startup / init script(s)? Especially the variables vga and bootmode are an indication for this assumption. May be you can search through your init scripts and locate the "mdev -s" call ... put an "env >/tmp/init_env" there (just before mdev call) and compare output with above list. Add an "export MDEV_TEST=irgendwas" bevor the "mdev -s", this shall show up as "MDEV_TEST=irgendwas" in your mdev output for hda devices ... if I'm right with my above theory. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
