Bug Description

wasabi@kyoto:/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts$ cat local-top/evms
#! /bin/sh

PREREQ="udev"

prereqs()
{
        echo "$PREREQ"
}

udev however does not exist in local-top (anymore?) It was probably just moved earlier. evms needs to be fixed to reflect this.

Hello Jerry,
                       I am gathering information to complete the report for the bug. Can you elaborate on what you meant by "udev however does not exist in local-top".

Do you mean that the variable $PREREQ is not defined?
or
that the package udev package/library is not present where you expected it to be?

Hello Jerry,
                       can you give me the version number of the evms package for which this error occurs?

Does this error occur right after installation of the package (default config) or only if you enable or disable a non default config option?

regards
Pavan Devatha

This may or may not be related to why I can't use EVMS under the feisty xen kernel. I'll look into it ...

In Feisty the evms package version is 2.5.5-18ubuntu3, and in Edgy the evms package version is 2.5.5-15

In Feisty, I have the following local-top scripts:

  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/mdrun
  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/evms

In Edgy, I have the following local-top scripts:

  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/udev
  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/md
  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm
  /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/evms

In Edgy, local-top/md requires udev, which exists in local-top; in Feisty, local-top/mdrun instead depends on udev_helper.

Maybe this change is all that local-top/evms needs?
