system stucks in run_init_process
Hi, I have disabled CONFIG_DEVTMPFS in kernel config and system stucks in run_init_process call which is called after freeing initmem. Any idea why this is happening. If devtmpfs is enabled, it runs normally. I am using 3.3.2 kernel. Thanks, Rahul B.

A bit googling shows this: http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/DEVTMPFS.html it seems that devtmpfs is a new way to create /dev entries....therefore, without it, boot will fail. That's the best I can conclude from the passage in the URL -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
Thanks Mulyadi Santosa ! But it (devtmpfs) is maintaining default devices, I have static devices to be created in CPIO root file system whose path is given in INITRAMFS SOURCE. So devtmpfs is overriding my static devices. Any ways I could use my static entries at /dev ? Thanks, Rahul B. On Mon, Jul 30, 2012 at 11:44 PM, Mulyadi Santosa <mulyadi.santosa@gmail.com> wrote:

That I don't know. But CMIIW, isn't that static devices created by mknod is done at later stage than kernel initialization? -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
