Ainsi parlait guran : [..] > I give up > guran Don't :-) I think you have the same problem as me, and i still didn't managed to fix it. Exact symptoms are: - "/dev/dsp doesn't exit" error message when entering a new KDE session - fixed by restarting alsa & artsd - devfs box
I already submitted this problem to the list also, and it seems to be linked to devfsd management of links state. Andrew and Fabrice have suggested me to clean /lib/dev-state before any upgrade of kernel/devfsd/initiscript package, but that is not enough. I cleaned /lib/dev-state before rebooting into new kernel, but problem still there. Looking into log, i found a maybe-related error message: devfsd[68] error calling "symlink" in "GLOBAL" packages installed : initscripts-6.4.2-16mdk kernel-source-1-1mdk ?! devfsd 1.3.22-3mdk -- Guillaume Rousse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> GPG key http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/gpgkey.html
