I finally got around to switching our samba box to the 2.6.x kernel. I |
2 |
followed the kernel migration guide posted on-line. Upon reboot with the |
3 |
2.6.14-hardened-r3 kernel it failed because it could not find any |
4 |
devices. After poking around a bit on the forum I did see posts about |
5 |
altering fstab to use different device names like |
6 |
|
7 |
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 /boot ext3 |
8 |
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 none swap |
9 |
etc |
10 |
|
11 |
in place of |
12 |
/dev/sda2 /boot ext3 |
13 |
/dev/sda3 none swap |
14 |
etc |
15 |
|
16 |
Those changes allowed me to at least boot up. |

I did remove devfs after installing udev. I see now the migration guide is |
20 |
silent about removing devfs. Was removing it incorrect? |
21 |
The server was up to date before I tried the migration. Both system and |
22 |
world were updated. |

Other forum postings indicated to be sure HOT_PLUGGING was enabled in the |
25 |
kernel. It was. In the 2.6.14 kernels it seems to be set to Y |
26 |
automatically and you can not set it to N. |

in /etc/conf.d/rc RC_DEVICES="auto" |

After spending most of Saturday working on this I finally reverted to |
31 |
2.4.32-hardened-r2 and emerged devfs again. My "regular" device names |
32 |
reappeared again. |
33 |
|
34 |
So what's the secret to udev? |
