It turns out that there was an plain text file /dev/kmsg containing: cat kmsg <30>udevd[3000]: starting version 175 It was dated from: ls -al kmsg -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38 Feb 26 2013 kmsg After deleting and creating a new with mknod dmesg works fine.
Is it possible to add some code in the preinstall script to check for the existence of a character node in /dev/ to avoid such hassle? The urgency of the bug report can be adjusted to "wish" because I think it's solved. -- Stephan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
