Interesting Fedora Core 3 Bug

Interesting Fedora Core 3 Bug

[Marc Perkel]

When I upgraded from Fedora Core 2 to Fedora Core 3 using YUM - the UDEV 
was seriously broken. After spending the last two days trying to figure 
out why the /dev/nell and /dev/zero devices with giving me premission 
denied because they were set to 600 instead of 666 - it turns out that 
udev was never starting.

For some reason the init scripts installed without udev support. I 
reinstalled initscripts and it did have initscripts support after being 
reinstalled. Apparently because the server was still running FC2 instead 
of FC3 the install of initscripts - specifically the rc.sysinit file 
didn't have udev support.

So - after wasting two days I finially got my server working again.

There needs to be some way that ensures that if the kernel expects udev 
that it doesn't just load up half way. In my case udev was being built 
into the initd files but wasn't loading on the system.
