Hi all, I have been using LFS 6.0/BLFS 5.1 happily for more than half a year now, when I made a mistake. Reading BLFS 6.1 I found a method to link my dvd drive to /dev/dvd (it had been a problem all the time before):
cat >> /etc/udev/rules.d/24-dvd.rules << "EOF" # Create a /dev/dvd symlink KERNEL="[dvd drive]", SYMLINK="dvd" EOF udevstart Having done that I rebooted my system and it isn't working anymore - the init process fails with messages: swapon: cannot stat /dev/sda4 ... mount: special device /dev/sda1 doesn't exist and so on, eventually it hangs. My partitions are as follows: /dev/sda1 / /dev/sda2 /usr /dev/sda3 /home /dev/sda4 swap No problems up to that evil day 2 days ago ... I browsed through the lists and found that some people had the same problem, it seems to relate to starting udevstart on a running system. Some people said the cause is a /dev/.udev.tdb file which has to be cleared, but I cannot do that. I tried a method suggested on debian list: boot with 'init=/bin/sh' #mount -o remount,rw / #rm -f /dev/.udev.tdb #mount -o remount,ro / #reboot but nothing, same problem. I can chroot to my system from my backup system (clever of me!), but I cannot find a way to solve this problem and to be able to use my main system again. Any help deeply appreciated Balazs _____________________________________________________________________________________ Ingyen mozi szupersztárokkal - csak három napig!
