Installing udev in VE based on Debian-4.0
Written by Pritam on October 20, 2008 – 7:02 am -What is udev?
udev - /dev/ and hotplug management daemon
udev is a daemon which dynamically creates and removes device nodes from /dev/, handles hotplug events and loads drivers at boot time. It replaces the hotplug package and requires a kernel not older than 2.6.12.
Install udev in Debian
#apt-get install udev
NOTE :: After installing this you need to reboot your machine.
When you install the Udev package in VPS based on Debian-4.0 template, you can may the following message:
Setting up udev (0.105-4) …
/var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.postinst: line 125: echo: write error: Operation not permitted
The problem is postinstall script tries to write to /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file, and this operation is prohibited in a VPS.
To work around this problem ::
just comment the 125th line in /var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.postinst file, that writes to the /proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file. After that udev can be installed smoothly.
