Migrating from static /dev to udev

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I'm trying to migrate an armeb embedded Linux build from a static /dev to udev. I now have the system coming up with udev enabled, but the first thing that udev does is disable my console connection. Before the console starts endlessly spewing "file not found" messages, udev prints a line like this

   tty ttyAMA0: uevent: unsupported action-string; this will be ignored
   in a futur

for nearly every device that was in the previous static /dev.

I understand that I can add static rules to udev to fix this, but I also want to migrate naming conventions to standard names--ttyAMA0 should be ttyS0, etc. I can keep legacy names around with symlinks if necessary.

So I'm not quite sure how to get started. I have disabled udev's startup for the moment, so I can get into /sys. Is there a guide somewhere on how to migrate from a static /dev to udev?

Thanks,
Brendan
