I've had a problem with udev breaking systems (if it gets installed to satisfy a dependency) for a long time now. It I recall correctly, I broke a FC5 VPS over a year ago... which I was able to salvage by removing udev.

In any event, I think you are asking the wrong question. To the best of my knowledge, none of the OS Templates have udev installed and vzdev was created for a reason, right?

Regarding your question about /sys, I just checked a CentOS 4 based VPS (on a CentOS 4 based HN) and indeed /sys is empty.

Scott-

For some reason since I've been running on a RHEL 4 system, my /sys is always empty when VPS's are created--so, even if udev *is* installed it does nothing. However, I have a CentOS 5 system and see that there is indeed a populated /sys directory for each VPS created (minimal, but there nonetheless). This, of course, puts udev into action if it is installed, which, of course, causes problems. Thus, I have tried to extricate udev from any VPS created from the template. As I've mentioned before, I'm far from an expert on RPM creation, however, I've created another template metadata rpm that attempts to accomplish this goal. It informs the system that vzdev will suffice for udev and also includes a yum configuration entry to prevent udev from being installed.

I have attached it to this post. Can you please give it a try and let me know if it works. I have incremented the release number so it should be a simple rpm upgrade.
