%general-entities; ]> Udev Begin by fixing an issue by which Udev ignores the contents of its permissions configuration file, and instead makes certain nodes (in particular /dev/null) usable only by root. patch -Np1 -i ../udev-027-permissions-1.patch Now compile Udev: make udevdir=/dev Install it: make udevdir=/dev install Udev's configuration is far from ideal by default, so we install our own configuration files here: cp ../udev-config-1.permissions /etc/udev/permissions.d/00-lfs.permissions cp ../udev-config-1.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/00-lfs.rules Who knows?
