ignore this.. I found syslinux.cfg and added it (devfs=mount)to the append line in there on the floppy..
its all good now.. strange that its not added by default.. I thought it would copy the lilo entries when it made the disk rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Franki Sent: Saturday, 23 November 2002 3:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [expert] error opening file: ".devfsd" No such file or directory This system boots from a floppy.. how can I tell the boot floppy app in mcc to add devfs=mount?? The kernel is a mandrake kernel, so I am assuming that its all correct.. in fact, i had this problem with two kernels, the default 9.0, and 2.4.20 which I just installed out of curiosity.. both are booted from floppy.. is the floppy my problem??? rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Todd Lyons Sent: Saturday, 23 November 2002 3:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] error opening file: ".devfsd" No such file or directory -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Franki wrote on Sat, Nov 23, 2002 at 03:11:32AM +0800 : > Hi guys, > > The subject says it all, I can't run devfsd without getting this error.. > > a search of google showed trying this: > > mount -t none devfsd /dev mount -t devfsd none /dev If the devfsd support is not enabled in the kernel, it won't start either. cat /proc/cmdline to make sure that you are passing devfs=mount to the kernel.
