RE: udev warning message on Debian 5.0
Either use a Live CD or add init=/bin/bash to the kernel commandline to make it accessible. Doing init=/bin/bash mount -o rw,remount / rm -rf /dev/.udev/ worked fine! Thank you very much guys.

Assuming Kushal uses an initramfs, without it the boot process will halt rather early if the kernel cannot find /dev/console.

Assuming Kushal uses an initramfs, without it the boot process will halt rather early if the kernel cannot find /dev/console. Actually I am not using initramfs. Would leaving /dev/console and deleting everything under /dev/.udev/ work? Kushal Koolwal I do blog at http://blogs.koolwal.net/ _ NEW mobile Hotmail. Optimized for YOUR phone.

Actually I am not using initramfs. Would leaving /dev/console and deleting everything under /dev/.udev/ work? You should rm -rf /dev/.udev/, but it is better to leave the rest of /dev alone. That way you may be able to access the system even if udev breaks completely. Actually I only know about the problem of /dev/console being necessary from my own experience. I once moved my root filesystem to another partition using cp -ax, not considering that this would leave out everything under /dev. The cloned root system worked fine until I booted a kernel without an initramfs. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

You should rm -rf /dev/.udev/, but it is better to leave the rest of /dev alone.Sven, I did rm -rf /dev/.udev/ and when I restarted my system I again got the warning message and /dev/.udev was created again automatically. Also I checked on another system which does not give this message and it seems that even that system does have /dev/.udev/ Kushal Koolwal I do blog at http://blogs.koolwal.net/ _ Bing™ brings you maps, menus, and reviews organized in one place.

You will need to do this when udev is not active, since otherwise the static /dev is hidden. Either use a Live CD or add init=/bin/bash to the kernel commandline to make it accessible.
