This rings a bell with me. I think these are messages from udev that would normally be output to /dev/null but if /dev/null doesn't exist, udev prints them to stdout. Udev tries to load modules for things but if they're built into the kernel (or you don't need them) then the FATAL messages are just noise. If you can boot and compile things then the kernel can't be too bad. Try this and see if the FATAL messages go away mknod /lib/udev/devices/null c 1 3 Andy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
