Everything's working fine except for this error I get during bootup: udev: missing sysfs features; please update the kernel or disable the kernel's CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED option. udev may fail to work correctly
I don't know what to do with this. I built the kernel using the genkernel script. I'm using kernel 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 on an amd64 processor
I ran update on my ASUS N51Vf laptop yesterday and among the updates there was one for udev. After installing it udev refuses to start at all saying: "iTCO_wdt: unexpected close, not stopping watchdog". Then I get to login but not for long: after several seconds either system reboots instantly or it hangs shutting down display. Is there any way to rollback udev update somehow considering I can't even login into system?

"1. Boot liveCD
2. "sudo fdisk -l" to find your boot disk, in my case it is /dev/sda5.
3. "sudo mkdir /media/newroot"

I've just installed Debian 6 on an old pc so i can use it as a file server.As far as i know installation went fine but it didn't detect my Edimax wireless network card.The problem I'm having is using FDISK. I tried to explore my CD drive and i got an error message "Unable to mount location". I wanted to see if there was an installer to install my network card becuase the manufacturer says it's supported by Linux. When i use the su - command and try using fdisk -l it just displays the command prompt and no hdd info. I tried it the other day becuase I want to mount all the physical drives and one logical volume. This is only the first step for me configuring this computer as a server and i'm suck already and ready to give up and try Windows server (whcih i don't really want to do).Has anyone got any ideas how i can mount my cdrom and why FDISK isn't working?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have used fdisk to create two new partition.
Before this partition, I had 6 partition of which /dev/sda6 was the boot partition. I deleted /dev/sda5 partition and hence the earleir /dev/sda6 became /dev/sda5. Now I created two new partitions /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7.
Due to this change in device label of /dev/sda6 I am not able to boot my computer.
Is there any method to change the disk label of /dev/sda5 to /dev/sda6 ?????
I would like to remove/create partitions on a harddrive without going into the menu of fdisk.
can one pass options to fdisk to create and delete without going into the menu? So that I can write a script to do that automatically.
Or if fdisk isn't capable, what other alternatives do I have?

I've a new external usb drive that was shipped formatted fat32. I wanted to convert this to ext3; so I performed a mkfs.ext3. I then noticed that fdisk was still reporting the usb drive as fat32 (even after reboot), but mount was reporting ext3: so I fdisk'ed the drive and change the partition's system id to 83 (Linux)
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) on a laptop and would like NumLock to automatically toggle depending on whether my USB keyboard is plugged in (numlock on) or unplugged (numlock off).
To accomplish this, I first installed the "numlockx" package. numlockx on and numlockx off works fine.
To hook into the device system, I thought I'd use udev. I have read "Writing udev rules", but I'm having trouble getting the udev rule to work.
First, here's an example of the dmesg output:

Installed FC-8 (DVD) on old dell 866mhez desktop years ago; works like a champ. Inherited dimension 2400, used same DVD. No errors loading (std config). Reboot and linux starts. Gets to 'Set clock - ok' and hangs on 'starting UDev'

I know FC-12 is out, but with older HW, trying to stay compatible.
I am not good at writing udev rules. I am using RHEL 4.7, I would like to invoke a file install.sh which is in CDROM as soon as the CDROM is inserted
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have written a udev rule as follows:Code:RUN+=/.../.../example.shWhenever i plug in a USB drive, this rule is executed, however it is also done when i plug in a dongle for WiFi. How do i make this udev rule specific for USB drives only. In other words this script should be run for USB devices only.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to pipe video from the screen to a video device that can be used as if it came from a webcam? I assume it uses udev somehow...
View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to prevent udev from creating the /dev/v4l/by-path/* and /dev/v4l/by-id/* files upon connecting my webcam. The problem is that Kopete doesn't want to display the video if these files are present. It works fine if I remove them, but I'd rather not have them created in the first place, since they seem to be completely useless anyway.

The Hp backend (HPLIP) fails because of these permissions. How do I change it so that it's crw-rw--rw 1 root lp 189, 1 Apr 3 07:45 /dev/bus/usb/001/002. Ie I would like 666 file permission on that node.
View 2 Replies View RelatedPrimary symptom: /proc/self/fd is there and normally populated, however /dev/fd is not. Process substitution therefore fails, because bash wants to create files under /dev/fd./dev/.static/ and /dev/.udev are populated. aptitude udev shows that the Debian package is installed, even though udev cannot be supported on this Xen vps (and, I believe, isn't supported by default until later stable versions of the Linux kernel).
I can solve the immediate problem by symlinking from proc/self/fd to /dev/fd, and putting the appropriate script in init.d. But are there any risks arising from Debian being misinformed about what my vps can do? And if so, what should I do about it?
how udev rules work to create device files. Following is what I did for that: Up on plugging in my phone (sony w800i), I am getting a device file 'devcdc-wdm0' created. I just tried to figure out the rule which is responsible for the creation of this particular file.
I searched in 'etcudev ules.d' and 'libudev ules.d' for the string 'cdc-wdm' to find that rule. But I am not getting any hits in that search. Could any one help me out in this one.
BTW: I am using Ubuntu 9

I have been trying to figure this out for a long time now and can't seem to get it to work. I have three serial ports I need to communicate with. The first one works, but the other two, which have identical product and vendor IDs, do not. This is what I have so far under /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules/
