Subject: Initramfs and /sbin/hotplug fun
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2007 14:16:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <45AB8CB9.2000209@walrond.org> (raw)
If the initramfs root filesystem contains /sbin/hotplug, the kernel
starts calling it very early in the kernel boot process, well before
/init has been called. In my case this resulted in lots of hotplug
segfault messages as the kernel boots, followed by a thoroughly unhappy
hotplug+udev once /init actually gets control.
To solve this, I deleted /sbin/hotplug from the initramfs archive and
modified /init to reinstate it once it gets control. This works fine,
but seems inelegant. Is there a better solution? Should sbin/hotplug be
called at all before the kernel has passed control to /init?
