So why did you decide to whine instead of opening a bug? :p > /dev/pts isn't created, thus devpts doesn't get mounted, thus you cannot log > in to your system to fix it. would also be trivial to run the all of three > commands so people could recover: > mount -t tmpfs dev /dev > busybox mdev -s > mkdir /dev/pts Yes, I could do this. > we already have examples of the init scripts modifying /etc/issue to notify > login entry points that their system needs manual attention to recover. This part can't happen in the udev init script since / is ro when it is run. Doing something in udev-postmount is also eroneous because that assumes that the user is booting to the default runlevel which they may not be. The best thing I can think of to do is to just log a message about it in udev-mount and fail which will cause udev to fail. William
