2) Add these two rules to LFS default rules file:
ENV{UDEVD_EVENT}=="1", RUN+="/sbin/udev_run_hotplugd"
RUN+="/sbin/udev_run_devd"
Don't think that RUN+="/sbin/udev_run_devd" is requires for LFS as it
doesn't use devfs any more.
This is not for devfs! This is for compatibility with obsolete packages
that still install scriptlets into /etc/dev.d. I.e., after /dev/lp0 is
created, this rule executes the following scripts if they exist:
/etc/dev.d/lp0/*.dev
/etc/dev.d/printer/*.dev
/etc/dev.d/default/*.dev
This may be used in order to download firmware into certain printers
(/etc/dev.d/lp0/firmware.dev contains "#!/bin/sh cat firmware >/dev/lp0"
then). More modern approach is to use RUN+=... rules instead of dev.d
scriptlets. BTW BLFS 6.1 uses a dev.d scriptlet for ALSA volume
restoration (BLFS SVN converted this to the RUN rule).
So you are right that LFS and BLFS SVN contain no such obsolete packages
that need /etc/dev.d.
I think that you can also add:
Add the rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/60-hotplug.rules
#
# usbfs-like device nodes
SUBSYSTEM="usb_device", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'X=%k X=$${X#usbdev}
B=$${X%%%%.*} D=$${X#*.}; echo bus/usb/$$B/$$D'", SYMLINK+="%c"
Only after linux-2.6.14 please, and synchronously with patching libusb
in BLFS and removing the /proc/bus/usb mount. But those rules will of
course do no harm with earlier kernel.
# be backward compatible for a while with the /etc/dev.d and
/etc/hotplug.d/ systems
# run /etc/hotplug.d/ stuff only if we came from a hotplug event, not
for udevstart
ENV{UDEVD_EVENT}=="1", RUN+="/sbin/udev_run_hotplugd"
Correct. But that alone doesn't run /etc/dev.d stuff, you need
RUN+="/sbin/udev_run_devd" for that.
I'm not 100% sure but I think that pciutils (plus
pcimodules-pciutils-2.1.11.diff patch) and usbutils are also needed.
They are needed with 2.4 kernels only (i.e.: not needed at all in LFS)
for hotplug to work correctly. All the needed information is gathered
from sysfs with 2.6 kernels.
To log hotplug events you could also add:
What's wrong with the current way to log events into
/var/log/hotplug/events?
BTW Acpid is also quite useful for laptops and powering down by a quick
press of the power button.
Sure! but that's on-topic for blfs-dev.
