Subject: system halt on invalid udev.rule
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 07:29:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200403100929.04074.bobb@absamail.co.za> (raw)
Due to an editing blunder I left a line containing:
NAME="ttyLT0", SYSLINK="modem"
near the top of my udev.rules. At next startup, the system
said that my root device (/dev/hda3) did not exist, and
offered "retry or enter password for shell". I would suggest
that udev be modified to cope more gracefully and informatively
to bad rules. Something like samba's "testparm", but for udev
rules, would be useful too.
