That's also what it is on the version on my temporary system.

All appear to be present and correct. fstab as per the book with hda1 for
the swap, hda2 as / with ext3 filesystem.

fstab:
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/sys is 755 owned by root

whoami returns root, which seems fine.
However, /sys/kernel appears empty. I'm assuming the problem therefore
lies with this missing files. All the directories under /sys are there
though.
Have I missed an option in the kernel? I've tried going back and
rebuilding the kernel from scratch (repeating the whole configuration
stage rather than using the previous configuration), but can't see
anything obviously missing that would make a difference. Checking the
.config file hotplug appears to be enabled.
Any other ideas?
Thanks
