[ANNOUNCE] udev 038 release

[ANNOUNCE] udev 038 release

[Greg KH]

I've released the 038 version of udev.  It can be found at:
 	kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-038.tar.gz

(yes, the last announcement was for 034, things have been moving
fast...)

udev allows users to have a dynamic /dev and provides the ability to
have persistent device names.  It uses sysfs and /sbin/hotplug and runs
entirely in userspace.  It requires a 2.6 kernel with CONFIG_HOTPLUG
enabled to run.  Please see the udev FAQ for any questions about it:
	kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ

For any udev vs devfs questions anyone might have, please see:
	kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev_vs_devfs

And there is a general udev web page at:
	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev.html

More bugfixes, and hopefully the "udev is locked in a loop taking all of
the cpu" bug is now gone.  Also, lots of wait_for_sysfs updates thanks
to all who has reported them.

Thanks to everyone who has send me patches for this release, a full list
of everyone, and their changes is below.

udev development is done in a BitKeeper repository located at:
	bk://linuxusb.bkbits.net/udev

Daily snapshots of udev from the BitKeeper tree can be found at:
	http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/bitkeeper/udev/
If anyone ever wants a tarball of the current bk tree, just email me.

thanks,

greg k-h

Re: [ANNOUNCE] udev 038 release

[Frank Steiner]

Hi,

"make install" fails with

galois tmp/udev-038# make udevdir=/dev DESTDIR=/root/tmp/test/ EXTRAS="extras/scsi_id" install
make: *** No rule to make target `etc/init.d/udev.debian', needed by `install-initscript'.  Stop.

because there is no udev.debian in etc/init.d/ in the sources.

cu,
Frank

Parallel make is now broken (was working fine with 034). Try make -j5.

It's already fixed in the tree. The next version will have it:

  http://linuxusb.bkbits.net:8080/udev/patch@1.921?nav=index.html|ChangeSet@-2d|cset@1.921

Thanks,

Argh, sorry about that.  I've fixed it in the tree now.

Thanks for letting me know.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] udev 038 release

Hi,

going from udev-036 to 038 on gentoo resulted in following problem for me:

I load the nvidia module via /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6. With 
udev-036 the device nodes eventually were created fast enough so that 
kdm could start. With udev-038 it is not the case. The boot ends at the 
log-in, and I have to manually start kdm.

What is the right way to get this going?

Cheers,

Prakash

Is there anything in the syslog regarding this?
Do you use the latest bitkeeper version or the "real" v038?

Unfortunately not. The Xorg.0.log says that it failed to initialize the 
Nvidia kernel module and aborts with "no screens found". But as sson as 
I log in as root and start the kdm script, everything works as expected.


> Do you use the latest bitkeeper version or the "real" v038?

I guess the "real" one, ie the one the gentoo ebuild fetches.
