#2118: Linux-2.6.23.10 --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: LydianKnight | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | --------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment (by Bryan Kadzban):
From the ChangeLog above: create /sys/.../power when CONFIG_PM is set The CONFIG_SUSPEND changes in 2.6.23 caused a regression under certain configuration conditions (SUSPEND=n, USB_AUTOSUSPEND=y) where all USB device attributes in sysfs (idVendor, idProduct, ...) silently disappeared, causing udev breakage and more. This is another fix for udev's usb_id segfault (without the patch that's in the SVN book, but with kernel 2.6.23.10, usb_id should no longer segfault). However, we may want to keep the usb_id patch, since what usb_id was doing before was extremely wrong anyway. Maybe changing the description of the patch to something like "fix the handling of certain error conditions in usb_id:" would work. (But note that the usb_id patch has been merged into upstream udev, so with this kernel version, it would probably work to remove the usb_id patch and simply wait until we can figure out how to get the new udev versions to work.) -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2118#comment:1> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
