Hi, with linux 2.6.32 we get devtmpfs. This is rather convenient when using nfsroot: We can skip the sudo hack to create the device nodes.
However, the way things are right now, we have a problem with multi platform BSPs. ROOTFS_DEV_INITIAL (the opetion to enable initial device nodes) is defined in ptxconfig and not the platformconfig. So it cannot be disabled until all platforms support devtmpfs. What's the best way to fix this? - Try to be smart, e.g. don't install initial device nodes if devtmpfs is enabled - Add an option to be smart - add a platformconfig to replace or overwrite ROOTFS_DEV_INITIAL Any other options? And what about BSP specific device nodes (for applications that start before udev, etc.)?
