           Summary: udev 1.51 needs at least kernel 2.6.27
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: org.openembedded.dev
          Platform: ARM
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: Devices
        AssignedTo: openembedded-commits at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: greensock at snafu.de


For preparation before using a real ARM target I have built console-image for
qemuarm.

DISTRO = "angstrom-2008.1"
MACHINE = "qemuarm"

When I try to boot the resulting image, the booting hangs. Further
investigation show that udev did not setup any devices in /dev and terminates:

 Starting udev
 ...
 + /sbin/udevd -d
 error initializing netlink socket

Searching for a reason for this behaviour I found a debian bug:

 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=555614

There the same error is reported and the conclusion is that udev from 1.47 on
needs at least kernel 2.6.27. For qemuarm the newest kernel is 2.6.26, I used
the default 2.6.25+2.6.26-rc4-r6-qemuarm.

I did go back to udev 1.41 by defining

PREFERRED_VERSION_udev          = "141"

and did a rebuild. The generated image works now without problems.

udev 1.51 should have a dependency to at least 2.6.27 kernel.
