[gentoo-dev] Problems with rc5

[gentoo-dev] Problems with rc5

[Sebastian Werner]

Hello guys,

first i must say this release is great. You have improve some parts from rc4
i think. The new method to extract the base-system i like. Some problems and
questions:

Swap activation fails at startup:
I don't know why, but when i use 'swapon -a' after login it works.

And what does the /dev-state. In my previous installations i have deleteted
all entries in /dev and use devfs. I read in the script
'/etc/rc.d/init.d/devfsd' that it is a bind to /dev. But what to do with
this. Why we need it?

I will try to script a basic-installation script next days... I anyone
working on this yet?

Hey i'm good ;-)

The solution is that devfsd must start before setting up swap...
i have moved the link in '/etc/rc.d/rcboot.d/05checkroot' to
'/etc/rc.d/rcboot.d/07checkroot'

please change this in CVS, achim???.

Thanks,

Sebastian

Any new/modified devices or device perms get placed in /dev-state (the real /dev)
so they survive a reboot. This way, devfs "remembers" things.

Hagabard on #gentoo irc is working on one for us.  Maybe you'd like to help him
out?

Thanks for the bug report; I'll make this change now if achim hasn't
already.

Is this method to remember better than the previous to copy files to
/etc/devfs...??
Yes it is, i think. I work in background and i must not know about this...

Thanks,

Sebastian
