Hi everybody, I've just built my first LFS, version 6.2. I did everything as said in the Book, so I've got kernel 2.6.16.27, udev-096 and rest default packages.
Booting stops right before showing login prompt. It's not hanging, because I can type letters, but nothing else happens. I found out that udev does not make any device nodes. I had to copy static /dev/hda* and /dev/console to /lib/udev/devices to persuade system to start booting. I know it's only a walkaround, so I have to do something with udev. My logs in /var/log looks like that: Dec 2 23:30:06 localhost udevd-event[471]: udev_db_get_device: no db file to read /dev/.udev/db/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@vcs1: No such file or directory Dec 2 23:30:06 localhost udevd-event[471]: udev_node_remove: removing device node '/dev/vcs1' Dec 2 23:30:06 localhost udevd-event[471]: udev_event_run: seq 345 finished Dec 2 23:30:06 localhost udevd[338]: udev_done: seq 345, pid [471] exit with 0, 0 seconds old Dec 2 23:30:06 localhost udevd-event[472]: udev_db_get_device: no db file to read /dev/.udev/db/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@vcsa1: No such file or directory Dec 2 23:30:06 localhost udevd-event[472]: udev_node_remove: removing device node '/dev/vcsa1' Dec 2 23:30:06 localhost udevd-event[472]: udev_event_run: seq 346 finished Dec 2 23:30:06 localhost udevd[338]: udev_done: seq 346, pid [472] exit with 0, 0 seconds old And there are much more the same lines. I'm worried about /dev/.udev/db/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@vcsa1: No such file or directory. I created this directory but it didn't solve the problem - it's empty of course. On my host system (Slack 11.0 udev 071) I've got simillar directory with many files inside, so I guess this can be a reason. Anyway, I wish there was better udev documention. I use BSD-like initscripts, buf of course I tried System-V ones, nothing changed. I also decided to stay with my lilo (I like it). After all I'm sure that I made a mistake somewhere, because nobody else reported such issue.
