Bernard, do you mean the "runtime" initrd or do you look inside the initrd fs? Because at runtime probably devfs is mounted by the kernel so it completely overlaps the old /dev. Try to pass devfs=nomount and it should work. Moreover I checked in the trunk a new kernel config (for i386 and x86_64 archs only for now) disabling devfs mount at boot. In this way we don't need to specify the devfs=nomount option... In general we could completely remove devfs support, but in the kernel we're using (2.6.12.2) devfs_* calls are invoked by devmapper, so lvm is not able to work without that... > We need to fix the stock SystemImager kernel - would a simple update to > a newer version (eg. 2.6.14) fix this issue with hotplug? The new kernel version will surely fix this, because devfs has been completely removed... anyway we should go with the last stable release (2.6.15.6) instead of 2.6.14, or not?
