I've been tinkering around with kernels lately, and the last two I've built (v3 and v3.0.1) aren't loading udev (dhcpd doesn't initialize) at boot.
syslog:
Code:

Here is the procedure I followed:
I used the current kernel (2.6.37.6) config.gz to do "make oldconfig" and then tweaked it using "make xconfig". I compiled bzImage and the modules, followed by "make modules_install".
I copied the bzImage, .config, and System.map into /boot. The aforementioned are symlinked there as well.
Code:
[root@x:/boot]# file System.map && file config && file vmlinuz
System.map: symbolic link to `System.map-custom-3.0.1'
config: symbolic link to `config-custom-3.0.1'
vmlinuz: symbolic link to `vmlinuz-custom-3.0.1'
Code:
[root@x:/usr/src]# file linux
linux: symbolic link to `linux-3.0.1/'
This next step, I think, is the part that is causing problems.
I removed the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules symlink from rc.modules-2.6.37.6. I then copied the rc.modules-2.6.37.6 ---> rc.modules-3.0.1 and created a new symlink to it.
Code:
[root@x:/var/log]# file /etc/rc.d/rc.modules
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules: symbolic link to `rc.modules-3.0.1'
Any ideas?
Kernel not loading udev at boot
