Details

I upgraded both my laptops that have Arch in them. The one is correctly not loading DevFS, but the other one still uses the same rc.sysinit since June or so and it fails on DevFS and on "rtc" module (there is no such module anymore). Why one of my laptops got the new sysinit and the other one did not? They both have the same pacman/noupgrade/upgrade policies! Manually re-ininstralling initscripts did not produce any new rc.sysinit.
This task depends upon

Hello, anyone? The devfs=nomount is passed to the kernel, and udev is installed and the latest initscripts are too. Why that laptop tries to load devfs instead of udev and fails? And also on that laptop only, I get an error that the rtc module can not be found and loaded.

I HAVE the latest kernel. I always upgrade to -Current. I have found the problem btw. DevFS was not removed automatically for some reason when udev took over. And so the rc.init (or something) is still calling for devfs, even if udev is now the default. IMHO, rc.init must be updated and completely remove any reference to devfs.
