Details

Description:

When booting, I get the message
/init: 123: file not found: /bin/mknod

mknod is explicitly removed by the klibc-extras build script, but it is used by the initcpio init script:

$ grep mknod /lib/initcpio/init
echo "/bin/mknod \"${BLOCKNAME}\" b ${BLOCKDEVICE}"
/bin/mknod "${BLOCKNAME}" b ${BLOCKDEVICE} >/dev/null

It is also used by the filesystems hook, the encrypt hook and the lvm hook.


Additional info:
* klibc-extras 2.5
This task depends upon

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/klibc/bin/mknod
/usr/lib/klibc/bin/mknod is owned by klibc 1.5.14-1

make sure you have the latest klibc and regenerate the image,
if you still get the same message then probably you've encountered this bug:  FS#11757
