udev requires a mounted procfs

udev requires a mounted procfs

[David Liontooth]

On a 2.6.12 kernel running Debian sid, after relying on hotplug up until
now, I installed udev 0.081-1. When I reboot, right after the kernel
starts loading and the entry before the bootlog daemon starts, I get "*
udev requires a mounted procfs, not started. Failed!".  Once booted,
udevd is not running, but df -a shows

    Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

    /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc

Reinstalling udev starts udevd and it seems to work fine, but the
problem recurs on reboot.

How do I fix this?

Looks like you broke your system some way, because /proc is mounted by
S02mountkernfs.sh.

Thanks -- I take it you mean S02mountvirtfs. In fact, adding mountvirtfs
to S (in sysv-rc-conf or ksysv) does the trick.
