Something to add to my earlier mail: After upgrading from 8.0 to 8.1 I am now unable to enter the /mnt directory in any way under any login, including root as the system hangs if I try > cd /mnt.
I have a suspicion that this is due to the devfs daemon running and messing up things. I could not find the devfs daemon under "services" in the Mandrake Control Centre. Any suggestions on how to solve the problem (preferably with devfs if that has worked for others) including a fresh reinstall etc...... would be welcome. Thanks.
