Hi there, I've searched the internet but didn't see any posts related to my problem.
Before I installed LFS I was using colinux-0.7.1-hn15 (with kernel 2.6.12 patched by colinux) and gentoo. Recently I tried to install LFS SVN-20060619 on top of colinux. However, after I set up everything and reboot, udev seemed to not work properly. After it output "Populating /dev with device nodes" for a while it reported a red [Failure] to me. Afterwards a lot of programs reported errors related to some files or devices missing, and then the system froze. udev also complained that the file /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug was missing. Since I didn't rebuild kernel and simply used the kernel shipped with colinux, the kernel didn't have hotplug support. So I rebuilt the kernel to enable hotplug. However the failure of populating /dev didn't go away. I also tried to redo Chapter 6.2 "Preparing Virtual Kernel File Systems", and Chapter 6.55 "Udev-092". It didn't work either. However, if I append "init=/bin/bash" when I boot colinux, I'm able to get a shell. I attempted to look at the udev script to get some insight but failed. Does anyone have suggestions?
