OK, easy enough to fix with SystemRescueCD. Built a new kernel with CONFIG_DEVTMPFS=y and it booted fine. If the intention was to not install udev-197 without CONFIG_DEVTMPFS set it didn't work. If the intention was that I'd see the message then in the middle of other things then I didn't and that's my problem. Cheers CONFIG_CHECK="~DEVTMPFS" has been in place since udev-180, which has been in the tree since Feb 2012. It CANNOT be made fatal: - there are systems where the kernel configuration is NOT available to check. - it's required at runtime, not at build time, you need to be able to build udev on a system without it. williamh: I would suggest a news item about making sure the kernel options are set.

We discussed about news item and decided it wasn't required. We can't force people to read and when they don't, they don't get to file bugs. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 408947 *** (In reply to comment #2) > CONFIG_CHECK="~DEVTMPFS" has been in place since udev-180, which has been in > the tree since Feb 2012. > > It CANNOT be made fatal: I_KNOW_WHAT_I_AM_DOING?

I'm not going to argue with any decision you guys take. However I run basically stable machines and I don't think I ever saw udev-180. Stable seems to have gone from 171-r9 to today's 197-r3 release (according to what's in my packages directory) so the 180 rev wasn't something stable users like me saw coming. Again, I'm totally cool with any decision you take on this matter. *** Bug 453186 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
