Bug#499575: Do you have udev installed?

[Johannes Linkels <jlinkels@rnw.an>]

Hi Graham,

I had seen that bug before, but it did not make any sense to me. Now knowing 
that various executables of udev could not be found, it does make much more 
sense!

If I look at the date, this discussion is very, very recent, so recent that it 
is likely that I have not apt-get updated since then.

I made some progress yesterday night. After manually poking '/' in front of 
the programs, udev did run. 

My /dev was filled now with hda1, hdc1, hdc3 etc., but NOT 
with /dev/disk/by-uuid and all that stuff. Which probably means that if I 
change my boot parameter back to root=/dev/hdc1 the think might actually 
boot.

It is an interesting experiment which I could try tonight. Nevertheless, if I 
can get it just right I am happier. After all, I am wondering why udev does't 
create the disk/by-uuid nodes. It does so when I boot kernel 2.6.22, and  
that is Lenny as well. But I did not generate a initrd myself for this 
kernel. The initrd might be older and not suffering from bug 498686. 

I will also try and see if I can download the new version of udev. And take a 
careful look at your directory listings.

Thanks
Hans
