[Qemu-devel] suggestion for /dev/kqemu?

[Hetz Ben Hamo]

Hi,

I'm trying to look for a solution for the following problem which
happend either on the latest Redhat Enterprise and in Fedora Core 3
and above:

Since every time that the machine is being rebooted, it creates
devices in /dev/ according to what it being asked by /etc/udev..

Does anyone know what should I put (and where) in /etc/udev so that
I'll have /dev/kqemu every time I boot? I know I can do it with a
simple line which can be added to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or something, but
I want some "standard" way to do that..

Thanks for the help,
Hetz

Hi Hetz,

Sorry to point you to a tutorial, but this one is quite detailed:
http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php

>From what I can gather (since I don't use udev), the following should
work for kqemu...

# udevinfo -q path -n /dev/kqemu # which should return something like:
/class/kernel/module/xxx

# udevinfo -a -p /class/kernel/module/xxx

>From that output, you should be able to create a line similar to:

BUS="kernel", SYSFS{serial}="L72010011070626380", NAME="%k"

This may be totally off base, so let me know how it goes :)

Cheers,

Damien
