- <para>When Udev is started by the LFS-Bootscripts, a replay of all kernel
- device events happens. These events tell Udev what devices exist.
- Sometimes the Udev bootscript doesn't wait long enough for
- <command>udevd</command> to process all of the replayed events and
- consequently the devices for those missed events are not created before
the
- script exits. Since <command>udevd</command> is still running in the
- background, the devices will be created a few milliseconds later, but the
- next bootscript to run may require a device to exist before it has been
- created. To avoid such missed events, and to avoid hardcoding an overly
- long wait time, It is recommended that you run the following commands to
- aid the LFS development team in debugging these missed events and finding
- an acceptable solution more quickly.</para>
