pseudo-beginner.. 1st install Slitaz successful !
  • ThierryThierry August 2010
    Hi,

    Yesterday, had the pleasure to make slitaz worked.

    However, at boot time, i have a message that UDEV Failed !

    So, what can I do for that, and what does this imply in the use
    of slitaz ?

    Please, be kind with me, I'm a starter :)

    Regards,
    Thierry
  • I think I can't really help, but where and when did you see the message? What does
    dmesg

    say? Maybe there is an additional hint in "messages"
    (as root)
    leafpad /var/log/messages

    Well, dmes and messages are really big to be posted :(

    Here is the beginning of my boot.log file :

    >> cat /var/log/boot.log
    Processing /etc/init.d/rcS...
    Mounting proc filesystem... [ OK ]
    Searching for early boot options... [ OK ]
    Starting udev daemon... [ Failed ]
    Udevadm requesting events from the Kernel... [ OK ]
    UdeTvadm waiting for the event queue to finish... [ OK ]
    Checking filesystem on : /dev/hda2
    ........

    In fact, my question was quite general. What's udev process ?
    I've seen Universal Device. Hmm, but ?

    You are not the first one asking himself about this udev error message. I (and all of us, I think) are faced to this udev message.

    According to Jozee answer in the following post:
    http://forum.slitaz.org/index.php/discussion/comment/6085/#Comment_6085, you can just forget about udev deamon error message.

    But for sure this should be fixed once.

    Happy slitaz.

    Great ! Thanks for this.

    Helas, I'm checking slitaz 3.0 for my business, and giving it to customers...
    they rightly could start thinking bad about this....

    Unfortunately, I'm not a Linux administrator, so can't do much....

    Otherwise, starting compiling, installing and playing with Slitaz,
    I'm very much impressed by it. Good work :)

    Hi,

    coming back to this thread with good news :)

    After some cups of coffee, few long evenings, came through
    that the drivers were not the right ones for my graphic card. So, changing this,
    all the errors changed at boot time, and slowly could get all disappears at startup.

    So, in my case, Udev FAILED, was a sig of something wrong but not that much useful to find a way out of it :( - at least for beginners.

    Regards,
    Thierry
