Hi! I've copied my backup to my new / in a raid device, and when I boot I get this error: Your system seems to be missing critical device files in /dev ! Although you may be running udev or devfs, the root partition is missing these required files !
To rectify this situation, please do the following: mkdir /mnt/fixit mount --bind / /mnt/fixit cp -a /dev/* /mnt/fixit/dev/ umount /mnt/fixit rmdir /mnt/fixit You may refer to these instructions at /etc/issue. If you previously had an issue file, it has been backed up at /etc/issue.devfix. Once you've fixed your system, you will have to restore your old issue file in order to get rid of this warning. Thanks for using Gentoo ! :) http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40987 Obviously, I've followed all steps, rebooted and my system stops loading services after "setting hostname". After that, I booted a livecd, copied its /dev files and the system hangs there... As I have moved the issue file, I don't see the message, but I'm not sure if I've really solved my problem or not. (probably not) I'm using udev, and created special devices null, console and initctl: afrodita ~ # ls -lsa /dev/console 0 crw------- 1 root tty 5, 1 oct 23 01:59 /dev/console afrodita ~ # ls -lsa /dev/null 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 oct 23 01:59 /dev/null afrodita ~ # ls -lsa /dev/initctl 0 prw------- 1 root root 0 oct 23 01:59 /dev/initctl and udev did the rest: # ls -lsa /dev/ Display all 184 possibilities? (y or n) What other devidces do I need? Meanwhile, Iable to start services... # rc-update show bootmisc | boot checkfs | boot checkroot | boot clock | boot localmount | boot modules | boot afrodita ~ # /etc/init.d/postfix start * Starting saslauthd ... [ ok ] * Starting postfix ... [ !! ] afrodita ~ # /etc/init.d/cyrus start * Starting cyrus imapd ... [ ok ] afrodita ~ # /etc/init.d/postgrey start * Starting Postgrey ...
