[PATCH 0/1] Fix for endless 'waiting for removable media' problem

[poky-bounces-EtnWKYl6rD/WsZ/]

From: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi-***@public.gmane.org>

This patch should fix the endless 'waiting for removable media' error
that sometimes happens when trying to boot off 'live images'.

For some reason, we started seeing this more often than usual recently
with the crown bay, but I've seen it randomly occur on other machines,
and I remember we ran into it in the past when setting up the
Cambridge demo, and I've seen other people report it sporadically as
well...

Hopefully this will fix the problem once and for all.

Please pull, and also apply to laverne as well.

Fixes [BUGID #693]

The init-live.sh script starts udevd in init-live.sh:early_setup(),
but doesn't account for the possibility that the root device may have
already been registered by the kernel before udevd starts up.

If the device is detected after udevd starts up, everything's fine -
udevd gets the 'add' uevent for the device, the root image shows up at
e.g. /media/sda/rootfs.img, and the boot continues.

If however the device is detected before udevd starts up, udevd misses
the 'add' uevent and the root image never shows up, causing it to stay
in the 'waiting for removable media' loop forever.

The 'udevadm trigger' command is meant to be used to avoid this
situation, but init-live.sh doesn't use it. Furthermore, since the
default was changed in udev 152 from 'add' to 'change', the command
needs to explicity name 'add' as the action.
