Re: how to use udev [I nailed the bastard!!!]

[Roman Duka]

FUCKING HELL, I've just found out what the problem was, this is what I 
was passing to my kernel at boot:

DEFAULT linux
LABEL linux
   KERNEL linux
   APPEND root=/dev/ram0 initrd=initrd ramdisk_sizeˆ00 init=/linuxrc 
rw vga=6

and guess what, I was smart enough to put the bare minimum under /dev 
like "console, null, tty, zero" just to give me enough to boot into 
shell, but I failed to make a /dev/ram0 entry. So without it, udev was 
running OK, but for some reason it wouldn't add devices to /udev. 
Basically adding an entry under /dev which corresponds to a device on 
which the root filesystem is mounted fixed the problem. So for all of 
you out there BEWARE!!!

Cheers guys, udev works now!
