 |
|
I am not sure what CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED does but I get a warning in udev-130 about it:
| Code: | udev: deprecated sysfs layout (kernel too old, or CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED) is unsupported, some udev features may fail
datastore2 linux-2.6.26-openvz-git # zgrep SYSFS /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y
CONFIG_ACPI_SYSFS_POWER=y
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
|
Should I disable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED?

You should disable it. Read this link for the full story.  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.hotplug.devel/13141
If you use LVM, beware of Bug 225249, though.

What kernel option provides the alternative?
For me when I disable this option I am not able to boot the kernel. I get an error when the system tries to find the root block device. The output is something like this:
| Code: | Block Device /dev/hda3 is not a valid root device
Could not find the root block device in . |
Thanks |

There is none. Udev does the deed nowadays.

I have never seen that option stop a boot process. None of my systems have it enabled, and obviously, I'm booted and running enough to be typing this to you with Firefox under KDE-3.5.10. I suggest you have other problems with your kernel.
I further suggest that you open your own thread on this issue. Include your entire kernel .config file, the results of lspci -n and cat /proc/cpuinfo as well as your /etc/fstab file. That way, you can get the attention you want, and the OP can get his problem dealt with without interference.
Blessed be!
