After updating my system I was presented with the need to run etc-update. Noticing it was all scripts for hotpugging and that they are usual defaults that I shouldn't mess with and usually never alter I chose "-5" aka auto emerge changes. Which I thought would of been fine.(I do the exact same option when it is the reboot or halt scripts for example) Anyways I was presented with an error later on reboot. "** can't synthesize input events - /proc/bus/input/devices missing" Trying to figure out why it was doing that I look in /proc/bus to see the following: bash-2.05b$ ls /proc/bus i2c i2c-0 i2c-1 pci usb bash-2.05b$ ls /proc/bus/pci 00 01 devices bash-2.05b$ ls /proc/bus/usb 001 002 003 devices drivers bash-2.05b$ ls /proc/bus/pci/devices /proc/bus/pci/devices bash-2.05b$ ls /proc/bus/usb/devices /proc/bus/usb/devices Now the above error I got I get right after hot plug starts: *Starting USB and PCI hotplugging [OK] ** can't synthesize input events - /proc/bus/input/devices missing So I go hunting around and in /usr/hotplug/input.rc I find: PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin PROCDIR=/proc/bus/input at the very top and several spots below it that have: $PROCDIR/devices So far this bug seems harmless but I don't know much about scripting at all and I'm not sure how to alter the bits in the script to fix it. So far obviously my input devices are working or I'd not be able to type this. The modules I'm using are HID and input loaded at boot along with several other modules.(17 in total) I'm using vanilla sources kernel 2.4.24 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
you're not alone. got the same warnings on start-up. might be because we use a 2.4 kernel and those entries are created in // to /sys entries only with kernel 2.6 so, to my mind, the worse thing it could do is filling your logs with those lines
Should be fixed in latest release.
