Walter, |

I've been reading on mdev, and I think there are some things we ought to |
14 |
try : |
15 |
|
16 |
1. *IMPORTANT* make sure there's /etc/mdev.conf ! |
17 |
|
18 |
2. Adding 'mdev -s' into /sbin/linuxrc after mounting sys/proc. |
19 |
|
20 |
man busybox says that 'mdev -s' populates /dev with devices it detects |
21 |
during boot. Maybe we won't need kernel devtmpfs anymore? |
22 |
|
23 |
3. To handle hotplug events, ' echo /bin/mdev > /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug '. |
24 |
But I'm not sure which kernel config to enable to make that sysctl knob |
25 |
appear. |
