using udev in initrd with persistent devices.
Sweet, thanks for posting this, I really appreciate it.
One small question:
udev initrd - using busybox and ramfs
-------------------------------------
1) mount /proc and /sys
2) mount /dev as ramfs
3) create initial devices (eg: console, null, zero, loopX) and links for std
files
4) start udev, use udevsend as hotplug
What do you do to "start udev"? Run udevstart?
5) load modules (eg. controller, filesystem)
6) umount /sys
7) locate root device
8) mount system root on /sysroot
9) bind /dev to /sysroot [UDEV_KEEP_DEV="yes"]
10) change root to /sysroot and initrd to /sysroot/initrd
11) umount /initrd/proc
12) umount /initrd/dev [UDEV_KEEP_DEV="yes"]
Are you looking into making a initramfs instead of a initrd for the next
FC3 release?
thanks,
