Hello,
I recently built my first gentoo install, but discovered that I had inadvertently left devfs support out of the kernel. So, I recompiled (gentoo-sources) with devfs support and devfs mount on boot. However, I can't boot with this new kernel; the /sbin/rc script starts throwing "/dev/null: Permission denied" errors and then the filesystems won't mount.
After doing a little debugging on the rc script, I found that the "permission denied" errors are because /dev/null doesn't exist at that point in the script. I then tested and found that /dev/null exists before devfs is mounted and does not exist afterwards. So, devfs is screwing the pooch...
Anyone have any idea why??? I've been struggling with this for about 24 hours... would really appreciate some help!
Ben
PS: I'm using LVM and resierfs, in case that matters.
AFAIK there is no possibility to disable /dev/null to work in .config, therefore I think your kernel failed to mount /dev filesystem ...
Have you got /dev directory ? What about other devices ? (e.g. /dev/hda1)
