I've removed one, and we can remove other instances of the "touch" if there are any. Andrea is correct in the current expected method for re-creating /dev. However, I think we need to eliminate our need for devfs. To do that, I think we need to start using udev instead. We should use a hybrid t

I've done some little changes in the trunk in order to support kernels without devfs (see SLES9 kernel for example). For now the idea is not to put udev into the initrd, but, instead to use the content of the /dev directory as seen from the golden client (without mounting devfs). So if the ker

Hi all, I've used the UYOK feature with a SLES9 distro on Dell 1850. Unfortunately the following command cause a modprobe of all modules present in the initrd staging dir!!! run_cmd("find $staging_dir -depth -exec touch -t 196912311900 '{}' ';'"); I've to verify closely the problem, but it s
