hi list,
I'm experimenting with the 3.6.3-1 rpms from
http://www.bcgsc.ca/downloads/oscar/systemimager/
This is on Suse SLES9, kernel 2.6.5-7.244-smp
Running si_prepareclient fails with:
/dev/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_/dev/vc/0=4: No such file or directory
/dev/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_/dev/tty=5: No such file or directory
/dev/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_/dev/console=5: No such file or directory
/dev/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_/dev/ptmx=5: No such file or directory
/dev/MAKEDEV: line 1: major_device-mapper=253: command not found
/dev/MAKEDEV: don't know how to make device "/tmp/.systemimager.3/dev"
Couldn't /dev/MAKEDEV -d /tmp/.systemimager.3/dev hda sda. at
/usr/lib/systemimager/perl/SystemImager/UseYourOwnKernel.pm line 98.
It appears the suse version of the MAKEDEV script does support '-d' flag as
UseYourOwnKernel.pm expects. Must be a different version of MAKEDEV. Suse
version uses '-d' flag to delete devices. Another case of arbirtary vendor
discrepancies, I suppose.
Is it reasonable for UseYourOwnKernel.pm to use a more standard method to
create devices?
#
# Use MAKEDEV to create special devices for hard disks
#
#$cmd = qq(/dev/MAKEDEV -d $staging_dir/dev hda sda);
$cmd = qq(/bin/mknod -m660 $staging_dir/dev/hda b 3 0);
!system( $cmd ) or die( "Couldn't $cmd." );
$cmd = qq(/bin/mknod -m660 $staging_dir/dev/sda b 8 0);
!system( $cmd ) or die( "Couldn't $cmd." );

Did you try poking at it with a stick?
