udev 024 and missing virtual consoles

udev 024 and missing virtual consoles

[Todd Musall]

I'm running udev 024 over /dev with on a 2.6.5 kernel and directory
/dev/vc isn't being created. I had to manually create the vc devices to
get logged in.

I searched the list archives and found an older thread talking about a
patch to create virtual consoles. Does anyone know if this is still an
issue, or I'm missing something? I'm using the start_udev script as
described in HOWTO-udev_for_dev on an Arch linux distro that uses a
simple LFS init system. Any help here is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Philippe,

That was it :) Thank you very much. I suspected that /dev/vc/0 was a
devfs naming convention (which arch linux uses) and just needed to use
the standard kernel device name but wasn't sure. Thanks again for the
help.

Or you can use the latest -mm kernel which has the sysfs patch that
creates the vc nodes in it :)

thanks,

Greg,

Instead I used this rule to create /dev/vc/[0-9] symlinks:

KERNEL="tty[0-9]", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="vc/%m"

Works like a charm.

I've almost got udev completely working.  My last issue is with LIRC. 
The device node /dev/lirc0 isn't being created.  I'm using a patched
LIRC version for 2.6 kernels and on devfs everything works fine.  I
haven't had time to debug it further but wondered if anyone else has got
LIRC working with udev?

Odds are lirc code needs to be patched to work with sysfs.  Does anyone
know why the lirc code is not in the mainline kernel?  I can't seem to
be able to connect to the site that holds their 2.6 kernel patch...

the cvs version works with 2.6.5, but i had to write a script which
creates the devices at boot time (with udev)
