Hello All,
I picked up on a recent conversation from this list here:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user/256763
I'm having exactly the same problem. Does Kevin Mark or anybody else
know where I can find more information about the "initscript upgrade
error", or how to fix this problem? I checked around in
bugs.debian.org/initscripts, bugs.debian.org/sysvinit, and google, and
can't find anything useful about the situation.
A friend and much wiser Debian user than I took a look at my problem
and determined that by commenting out the "return" in the
mount_tmpfs() below from the udev startup script, /dev gets populated
as normal, and things go back to usual, minus the hacked script
(around line 23):
mount_tmpfs() {
if grep -E -q "^[^[:space:]]+ /dev tmpfs" /proc/mounts; then
echo "Looks like /dev is already mounted. Let's keep going anyway."
# return
fi
We weren't, however, able to determine why /dev was being mounted with
the tmpfs ahead of the udev script.
I am but a newbie Debian user, so please feel free to point me at the
right documentation or bug report.
TIA,
Michael
