Subject: [gentoo-embedded] mdev problems
Date: Thu, 11 May 2006 19:37:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BAY115-F1130662273002D5059B402CBAF0@phx.gbl> (raw)

Hi,

i would like to use mdev on my device, but got some problems implementing 
it. First of all the device is booted over the network with pxe and the root 
is mounted over nfs read only.

If i use the normal baselayout, i can boot the device and login without 
problems.

I wanted to mount the /dev dir read/write so i can use mdev to populate the 
dir. I tried it with mount -n -t ramfs none /dev in the inittab, but now the 
system hangs right after "Freeing unused kernel memory".

Here are my config files:

/etc/inittab:
=======
# Startup the system
#null::sysinit:/bin/mount -o remount,rw /
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -t proc none /proc
null::sysinit:/bin/mount -t sysfs none /sys

#tty2::respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2

# Put a getty on the serial port
#ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100

# Logging junk
null::sysinit:/bin/touch /var/log/messages
#null::respawn:/sbin/syslogd -n -m 0
null::respawn:/sbin/klogd -n
#tty3::respawn:/bin/tail -f /var/log/messages

# Stuff to do for the 3-finger salute
