That chunk of code has not been checked into SVN yet, so this is just "experimental" code to get me going. Another user encountered a similar problem on SuSE and used this method instead: $cmd = qq(cd $staging_dir/dev; /dev/MAKEDEV hda sda); (MAKEDEV is located in /sbin/MAKEDEV so you can make a sym-link etc.) > # > # Use MAKEDEV to create special devices for hard disks > # > #$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." ); This "dev" issue has been fixed in trunk (or at least in Brian's udev branch). Basically we integrated udev into SystemImager so that handles all the device creation. In regards to fixing this for the 3.6.x branch, Brian has suggested I take a look at the Gentoo dev tarball, however I have yet to get my hands on it and I am not even sure if it provides devices such as cssis. So, I don't really have a good solution/fix for you. I suppose if mknod works more generically, I could use that instead of MAKEDEV - but again we need to come up with a list of commonly needed devices to be created ahead of time (and currently I just have hda and sda which are not really enough...)
