It sounds like you didn't, and without this, :devfs wont mount (saving you from having an unbootable system when you :just try it out with no idea about what you are doing <grin>).
Yeh, I've been there :) few months back with 2.4.0pre1 or something... I've been mounting devfs on /devices to play with and not trash everything, our mails must have crossed, but I just figured this out and all is well: [EMAIL PROTECTED] devfsd]$ sudo devfsd /devices/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] devfsd]$ l /devices/sda1 lr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 34 Feb 3 18:09 /devices/sda1 -> scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 so my test directory is properly symlinked. next is: # lilo -R linux devfs=mount && reboot && pray Thanks, -Jon
