Hi,
I tried to move from devfs to udev and followed the wiki.
However I encounter the problem that Arch will not boot anymore.
At the point where is says 'activating swap' it fails and I enter maintenance mode where I can move back to devfs.
The same problem occurs with another installation of Arch 7.
All is updated and I tried a few times (which is easy for me because I made images of the Arch partition).
Anyone encountered this problem or any ideas?
Thanks,

Hi,
i had no problems moving to udev..
but perhaps you have a problem in your /etc/fstab?

wanderingidea,
- what does /etc/fstab look like? Did you remove the sysfs line?
- where "is" your swap drive? IDE? SCSI? External USB harddrive?
For the record, switching from devfs to udev was painless for me. Only issue I had was getting my Palm to connect again, but that took all of 5 minutes. No problems on my end.

Hi Sascha,
My swap partition is on /dev/sda3 on a serial ata harddisk. Arch Linux is on /dev/sda2 and Win'XP on /dev/sda1.
My fstab is as follows:
#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults 0 0
#sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/floppy/0 /mnt/fl vfat user,noauto,unhide 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
#-------------------------------------------------------------
Hope you can find anything, udev should function without problems reading all messages regarding it.
