debian testing/unstable/sid, current as of 27.Jan.2002 19:00 PST. kernel 2.4.13 from kernel.org, no patches, no recent compiles.
I've been running sid for months without problems until today, after dist-upgrade and reboot. After dealing with various error conditions I (finally!) figured out that nothing in /proc is actually working when I first boot the machine, even though I see "proc on /proc type proc (rw)" when I type 'mount'. In order to get procfs working I first do "umount /proc" which gives "proc not found" and then "/proc not mounted" even though it clearly WAS mounted when I typed 'mount'. After getting those messages I type 'mount' again and (as you would expect) I don't see a listing for /proc. Now, when I type "mount -a" the procfs gets mounted without any error messages and everything starts to work again! Any clues why procfs doesn't work right the first time 'round after booting?
