Udevstart doesn't actually start udevd...it just rescans the devices |
| 11 |
and recreates device nodes. The actual udev daemon is started by |
| 12 |
/sbin/rc, possibly via /lib/rc-scripts/add-ons/udev-start.sh depending |
| 13 |
upon your version of baselayout. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Having RC_DEVICES=udev or auto should be sufficient to start udevd on |
| 16 |
startup. Setting dev=udev in grub.conf is not necessary, and probably |
| 17 |
won't change anything. |

Now for your missing device nodes, maybe you just need to do: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
rc-update -a coldplug default |
| 22 |

1. If you are using vesafb-tng, you cannot use vga= to set the video |
| 30 |
mode. It must be part of the video option like so: |
| 31 |
video=vesafb:1024x768-8@60,ywrap,mtrr |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
2. If you are not using vesafb-tng, you cannot use video=, so you |
| 34 |
should take out that option. |
