Hi all,

The new kernel (2.6.13) has removed support for devfs. While I certainly
understand why devfs is not on by default, it seems that removing it
altogether is a bit harsh.


Devfs has been a great way to quickly (say - inside an initrd) get a
clear picture of what hardware is available, as well as get the relevant
devices required to run said hardware. With devfs gone, installers, some
embedded configurations, and possibly others, may find their time much
harder.


My main question is - does anyone know of a good alternative?
