Like several people on this list, I have been getting annoying messages at boot time about nonexistent storage devices on empty usb ports. An earlier post by Bruce Dubbs suggested a simple edit of /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules to prevent this. On my LFS7.6 system with systemd, this edit worked very well.
However on LFS7.7 with sysvinit, it does not work. Not only do the messages remain, but the change somehow screws up xorg's evdev driver so that neither the mouse nor the keyboard work any more. This means that not only can I not use X but I can't even get back to a console to correct the problem! At first I thought I might have made a typo during the edit, so I tried again by copying the previously edited file from LFS7.6 (where it works perfectly well) to LFS7.7. It turns out the effect is real, though it only shows up after rebooting with the modified file; simply shutting down and restarting X under the new rules doesn't cause problems. A diff run shows that the only difference between the old and the new files is the position of the line ACTION!="add", GOTO="default_permissions_end". Can anyone explain this? -- Hazel Russman <[email protected]> -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
