Hi,

I'm compiling Angstrom for wrap and booting it on a Soekris net4801.

The udev init script runs before mountall, so /var/volatile is not yet mounted
and /tmp is not writable. The new DEVCACHE invalidation logic in the init
script, introduced last week in 5677ff24dfa105e2aaee777c1652fb1a66c1e7a5,
attempts to create files in /tmp. The creation fails and the init script dies
because it runs with "#!/bin/sh -e".

As a workaround, I commented out DEVCACHE in /etc/default/udev. I guess it's
probably not OK to start udev after mountall, so the real fix might be to
create temp files under /dev instead of /tmp. The /dev tmpfs is already mounted
at this point.

Mike
