Hi,

I just set up alpine linux on a laptop - fresh install.
To be honest, I did install 3.12, since I had the CD, then immediately
upgraded to 3.16, then started installing and working on that.

xorg doesn't start... and I get this error:

# setup-xorg-base
OK: 1015 MiB in 215 packages
 * rc-update: service `hwdriver' is not in the runlevel `sysinit'
 * rc-update: service `mdev' is not in the runlevel `s


what services are missing, how can I add them (which package provides them)?

Thanks,
Riccardo

I started off with a fresh install, with a current 3.16 alpine CD and
install Xorg.

I still end with

 * rc-update: service `hwdriver' is not in the runlevel `sysinit'

I have these symlinks on my server

boot/bootmisc
boot/hostname
boot/hwclock
boot/klogd
boot/modules
boot/networking
boot/sysctl
boot/syslog
shutdown/killprocs
shutdown/mount-ro
shutdown/savecache
sysinit/devfs
sysinit/dmesg
sysinit/hwdrivers
sysinit/mdev

if you installed via "apk add alpine-base" then they're not created
automatically. Make sure they exist and point to correct services.

I did install with setup-alpine and setup-xorg-base

I have the symlink you mention above, hwdrivers.
Note it is plural with final s.

This does look like a typo (feel free to send MR on gitlab), but this
is not a fatal error anyway.
