Bug#292285: migrate devfs to udev: no terminal, no cdrom, no sound
udev bind mounts /dev/ to /.dev/. Check your /dev/; I bet there's little if anything there. Didn't udev say you should restart your computer at the earliest possible convenience, and shouldn't expect stuff to work if you enable udev without doing so? It used to do that. Maybe it is a problem with wajig? debconf is capable of showing messages in a variety of ways, including both gtk and text messages and menus. If it can't use any interactive display (for example if I ssh cyberia sudo aptitude upgrade), then it will send an email to root (IIRC). Did you get an email? Does rebooting fix the problem?

It used to, but now it does not because rebooting is not needed anymore. -- ciao, Marco signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#292285: migrate devfs to udev: no terminal, no cdrom, no sound
in README.Debian: - since modules are not loaded on demand, if you do not have a working hotplug package which can synthetize PCI hotplug events at boot time you will have to manually load all the drivers you need from /etc/modules. - some modules are not hardware drivers and cannot be loaded automatically by hotplug, so they will have to go in /etc/modules as well. - some drivers have not been ported to sysfs yet, and udev will not be able to create their devices. If you use one of these drivers you will have to create the devices after every boot. In other words, on a typical system you may need to manually load (using /etc/modules) modules like rtc, 8250, ppp_generic, ide-cd, ppdev, loop and tun. Recent versions of hotplug can load some of these modules (check if /etc/hotplug/ide.rc and /etc/hotplug/isapnp.rc exist and CONFIG_ISAPNP is enabled in your kernel configuration), the others which do not depend on specific hardware devices may have to be loaded manually if you need them. Kernel support needed ~ The kernel must be not older than 2.6.8 and must support the hotplug subsystem (CONFIG_HOTPLUG) and tmpfs (CONFIG_TMPFS). nut i feel the worst was to purge devfsd before installing udev. udev take care of not breaking devfs but if you purge devfs before, you already broke a lot of things. do your fstab entries point to /dev/discs/* devices ? You need a few things told in the kernel docs, required when you migrate from 2.4 kernel. Check if you have done them if you are already on 2.6. for xterm like (and a few others) to work you need: none/dev/ptsdevpts mode=620 0 0 in fstab and it to be mounted. also, you have to create /sys and mount it, the fstab line is: none/syssysfs defaults 0 0 this help hotplug. and for the posix threads (not needed by udev but part of the kernel 2.6 migration): tmpfs /dev/shmtmpfs defaults 0 0 and hotplug should be installed too.
